Title:
  [MIR] pkgconf, replacement for pkg-config

Status in pkg-config package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in pkgconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Rationale: debian moved from pkg-config to new pkgconf version,
  providing same binary.

  Availability: The package is already available in universe and
  building on all archs.

  Rationale: needed for mostly every package in the archive.

  Security, It's well maintained upstream, in Debian, and in Ubuntu.
  There are no known serious issues.

  Only one CVE dated 2018
  CVE-2018-1000221	pkgconf version 1.5.0 to 1.5.2 contains a Buffer Overflow vulnerabilit ...

  
  UI standards: n/a

  Dependencies: atf-sh on i386 is needed to build.

  Standards compliance: no known issues.

  Maintenance: No known issues.

  pkg-config had a long time standing Ubuntu delta, that is now dropped
  because pkgconf supports profiles and the multiarch lib location
  search is now default in Debian too.
