This line can probably just be removed if people have it, the
PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro already contains such a thing.  (Though it may

fixed in that one place.)

As always everyone is all for that in principle, but unless you never
get syntax errors when you run your compiler, you can't really blame
people for accidentally introducing such problems.
