Meanwhile, I've changed to another machine running Ubuntu 18.04. It has
installed guile 2.2:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
detlef:~/src/guile-debbugs> which guile
/usr/bin/guile
detlef:~/src/guile-debbugs> /usr/bin/guile --version
guile (GNU Guile) 2.2.3
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Yes, it is:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
detlef:~/src/guile-debbugs> which pkg-config
/usr/bin/pkg-config
detlef:~/src/guile-debbugs> /usr/bin/pkg-config --version
0.29.1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
And still the same error:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
detlef:~/src/guile-debbugs> ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... (cached) yes
./configure: line 2364: syntax error near unexpected token `2.2'
./configure: line 2364: `GUILE_PKG(2.2)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
