OK, maybe I'm too sensitive for this, because recently I was fixing few
recipes where do_install task was doing
cp -ra ${S} ${D}
and then INSANE_SKIP was used to ignore "patches" and ".pc" files
"installed" in ${D} but luckily not included in any package.

So I fear that obvious fix after reading this message will be to delete
"patches" and ".pc" directories in do_install instead of fixing the root
cause.
