Title:
  libmount-dev missing blkid dependency (or abusing Requires.private)

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  While trying to use libmount-dev development files via pkgconfig I'm
  getting error:

  ruff at box:~/co/e17/efl$ pkg-config --cflags 'mount >= 2.20' 
  Package blkid was not found in the pkg-config search path.
  Perhaps you should add the directory containing `blkid.pc'
  to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
  Package 'blkid', required by 'mount', not found

  The package appears to be listed in Requires.private field:
  ruff at box:~/co/e17/efl$ grep blkid `dpkg-query -L libmount-dev | grep mount.pc`
  Requires.private: blkid

  At the same time required package is not listed in the dependencies:
  ruff at box:~/co/e17/efl$ apt-cache show libmount-dev | grep Depend | tail -1
  Depends: libc6-dev | libc-dev, libmount1 (= 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu2), uuid-dev
