Mark,

thank you for your response.

Yes, documenting build instructions wherever those are different from
Debian's would be great!

Still, could you comment on how (in)compatible libsystemd-dev and
libelogind-dev are?

Looking at the content of the binary packages, both contain almost the
same set of headers.
Is there any chance one will "virtually" provide the other?

Regards,
Andrey.
