Message:
this has to be dug, but we would need to act upstream+1 (ie on the project that generate this wrong dep, like hal for the hald_addons).
pkgconfig tells us this, but the project behind told this to pkgconfig. and the problem is here!
ignoring that is not prudent, but moreover can create issue (linking on a lib that create legal issue for example).
=> retag'ed low priority

Message:
I'm afraid there is fairly little we can do about the above issues. It looks like we are linking these in because pkgconfig tells us to do so. I think ignoring that is not a prudent way to go.
