Fix it and recommend Matthias Clasen re-reads the packaging guidelines :-)

Wrong place. ;)

Perhaps you mean to file this in the fesco trac?

You might also note what harm this causes or where specifically it's against guidelines.

Spare your breath, this situation (gnome-icon-theme doesn't need pkgconfig, but ships files in one of its directories) is covered by the packaging guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#The_directory_is_owned_by_a_package_which_is_not_required_for_your_package_to_function

@nphilipp

FYI rpmbuild automatically adds pkconfig requires for .pc files so gnome-icon-theme has no need to co-own /usr/share/pkconfig
