Realistically, libsysdev will almost certainly not be preinstalled on a systemd based installation in the near future. It may well not be preinstalled *anywhere* for several months, if it does catch on.
libsysdev is not intended to have any requirements beyond a libc that supports POSIX 2001 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=600) and _ATFILE_SOURCE. That is equivalent to POSIX 2008 (_XOPEN_SOURCE=700), and should be available since glibc 2.4 or in any version of musl. Yes, I'm in favor of minimal dependencies. If a command-line tool needs more than libc, I start wondering why.
