Imho this means that you don't have pkg-config installed:

apt-get install pkg-config

That is actually a typo... it should be: "but why not try to find it
as a prebuilt?".

Thus, because you don't have pkg-config, it attempts to "recover" from
a fatal error by trying to use the prebuilt.

See above.

It doesn't. The configuration step checks if ndofdev_external.h exists,
and if it does, it prints that. Otherwise it skips support for NDOF.

For example, if you have it installed:

-- Found NDOF: Library in '/usr/lib/libndofdev.so' and header in '/usr/include'

And when you don't have it installed, it will print instead:

-- Building without N-DoF joystick support

Clearly LIB_NDOF is defined if you get here.
So, if you really have a clean mccabe/weekly then it did find
ndofdev_external.h.
I tested it and it works fine for me, with or without ndofdev installed.
