That won't be happening before 7.0 at any rate.

At build time, the server has to be able to find the relevant .pc file 
somewhere.  For most people these will be in the system pkgconfig repository, 
developers might have several such.  At run time, you have the usual issues 
of having all the data files installed and all the linker dependencies in 
place.

So installing Xprt as a binary package just requires the runtime dependencies.  
The build time dependencies (all the protocol headers, etc) are slightly more 
involved.
