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).

So according to Tollef, .private is fine
