But dtrace.pc is the pkgconfig file that specifies where dtrace itself is
located.  I honestly would expect that to be part of the main package since
other tools that need dtrace for something would then be able to use pkgconfig
to find dtrace, etc.  Why else would we put the location of the dtrace
executble itself in there?  Without installing -devel you don't get to find
out where dtrace resides, but with -devel installed suddenly that becomes
something relevant?
