Dear Maintainer,

This package does not provide a .pc file for pkg-config or pkgconf, so it cannot be found by those tools.
Since other build tools (autogen, meson, cmake,...) depend on this, these tools cannot find this library either.

Dear Maintainer,

I'm going to go ahead and prepare a suitable pkg-config file for libgpm,
and submit it to you. This is part of my DD application (AM: sramacher),
so performing an NMU is also desirable, if that's amenable to you.

Thanks, much appreciated!

Wouldn't really be happy about an NMU. A patch is clearly preferred.

But feel free to submit that patch as a Merge Request on Salsa
including an appropriate debian/changelog entry in the same commit.
(Please also post the link to the MR in this bug report. TIA!)

I'll include it then in the next upload.

I totally understand, and agree that this is the way to go. So
long as sramacher is good with it, I'm more than happy to
proceed this way.
