It seems to me that this is a Debian packaging issue, not an upstream
issue, isn't it?  If you want to fix the problem in this way, then
surely whatever package contains pg_upgrade should also contain
pg_config.


​Indeed.  An interesting packaging choice.  I'd think it belongs to an admin
category along with pg_upgrade, pg_dump, etc., rather than a development
package.  Surely it could be useful for admin scripts?
