Right now, we have a problem with cyclic dependencies in core: systemd requires libblkid and libuuid (systemd-udevd) and util-linux requires libudev (findmnt, and soon uuidd [1]).
Do you run a huge SAP install? I don't run a huge SAP install. I'm not sure why anyone who doesn't run a huge SAP install cares about uuidd, but I understand your concern.
I think my sarcasm-detector is broken, there's a red light flashing that wasn't there before.
And now it's lsblk, too. We could get a sane dependency chain without circles now - or wait until all of util-linux is broken.
Sigh. I probably have time to fix this today.
Sadly, I didn't get to this yesterday and I spent most of today flying cross-country. Because we never ditched the libsystemd provide on systemd, we can do this piecemeal. I'm pushing a split of util-linux into testing tonight, and I'll handle the libsystemd/systemd split tomorrow or Wednesday when systemd 211 is released.
As discussed on IRC, this is only going to be a runtime split. libutil-linux will only contain the dynamic libs for libuuid, libblkid, and libmount. Similar for systemd -- libsystemd, libudev, and the compat libs.
Much to my dismay, this is now done.
