debian/control: Replace pkg-config with pkgconf, the former deprecated on Debian...

Is it? pkg-config is still the official interface to use, pkgconf is just the new implementation. As far as I know, people should be depending on pkg-config still

They're mostly interchangeable. pkgconf is a drop in replacement for pkg-config. The latter is deprecated on Debian[0] and Fedora[1] now. The former is actively maintained.  It was @pabs3 that brought this to my attention.

There's a number of reasons for it, but one of them is pkgconf has no glib dependency. 

Users shouldn't need to make any changes to their build environment at all, other than to ensure pkgconf is installed.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The pkg-config package on Debian is provided by pkgconf, as the "old" freedesktop.org implementation has been removed completely. Since most tools use the pkg-config interface (binary name, flags, etc.) it makes sense to me to depend on the general pkg-config package which itself pulls in the most desirable implementation (in Debian's case, right now, pkgconf)

Good call. Fixed.
