Citing pkg-config manpage:
By default, pkg-config looks in the directory prefix/lib/pkgconfig for these 
files; it will also look in the  colon-separated  (on  Windows,  
semicolon-separated) list of directories specified by the PKG_CONFIG_PATH 
environment variable.

So you can install .pc file anywhere you want if you add this location to 
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

So /usr/bin/pkg-config will always look into /usr/lib/pkgconfig.
We can either use
A. $(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/pkgconfig
or
B. $(DESTDIR)$(PREFIX)/lib/pkgconfig

For most installations A should be fine.
