Please explain why you think the dependency is wrong - it's not at all clear that everyone agrees what Requires.private means.

In Bug #15199, the maintainer of pkg-config (Tollef Fog Heen, Mithrandir in the IRC transcript) explains why he asked me to move most of the Requires to Requires.private in telepathy-glib (i.e. the opposite of what you're requesting).

See also http://err.no/personal/blog/tech/2008-03-25-18-07_pkg-config,_sonames_and_Requires.private on the same topic.

So according to Tollef, .private is fine
