So udev seems to require libblkid, but for some reason no suitable
libblkid is built before compiling udev.

This may get interesting, because both libblkid and udev are virtual
packages (which lack documentation)?

No.

Neither to me. In ptxdist master UDEV_LEGACY selects (the virtual)
LIBBLKID and SYSTEMD also selects LIBBLKID. LIBBLKID itself selects
UTIL_LINUX_NG and UTIL_LINUX_NG_LIBBLKID. So that all looks good to
me.

Which ptxdist version are you using? Did you compare the
rules/libblkid.in and rules/udev.in to current master?
