Exactly, it requires working udev and udev rules for it's primary
function. To change that, it either needs
- to be split into two libraries, one with the stuff that needs udev
rules, one for the stuff without or
- runtime detection if udev can work.

Maybe. Please provide a patch to fix this problem, without touching
every piece of software that, directly or indirectly, links against
libdevmapper.
Because the dependency on libdevmapper1.02.1 can only go after systemd
(or maybe libcryptsetup) got it.
