         yes, I agree with you.

        I think  keeping the .pc/*/.pc  maybe  helpful to some  
command, for example quilt files.
        Some times, if some file (size = 0) in .pc/*/ has been deleted 
, for example by make distclean.  If we keep
        .pc/*/.pc file, we can recover the whole system.

    Actually, I did not use .pc/patches-per-file database.
