It will be changed in the next release and soon in CVS.

Either the debian package did not install directfb.pc or it is installed in
another directory as pkg-config expects, that is when pkg-config is installed
in another prefix (same problem with aclocal's m4 files).

The standard debian fb.modes only contains 8bit modes that we don't support,
there is only one valid mode for DirectFB IIRC. Maybe we should name it
/etc/directfb.modes and install it automatically.
