Bug Description

In vivid (and maybe other releases) libpam-mount installs the file /lib/pkgconfig/libcryptmount.pc

That's strange for two reasons:

 1) pkg-config files should not be installed by non-'-dev' packages

 2) pkg-config files won't be found in /lib/pkgconfig

Note for example:

(vivid-amd64)desrt@spadina:~$ pkg-config --libs libcryptmount
Package libcryptmount was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libcryptmount.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libcryptmount' found

but forcing it will demonstrate that the package is installed:

(vivid-amd64)desrt@spadina:~$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs libcryptmount
-lcryptmount

Yep, it's dropped here:

I dropped the pkg-config file for now, we can create an extra -dev package if someone needs it.
