Because on Devuan I presume you have libelogind0 and libelogind-compat
installed. libelogind0 conflicts with libsystemd0 and therefore
libsystemd-dev. To build vlc on Devuan you have to use libelogind-dev.

On (recent) Debian, elogind uses libsystemd0-compatible cgroups, libelogind0
only exists as a transitional package to pull in libsystemd0 and you can happily
install libsystemd-dev.

To build on Devuan without hosing your desktop integration, use a
pbuilder/cowbuilder/sbuild/whatever build chroot. It is better practice to build
that way anyhow. Within the chroot, you will be able to install libsystemd-dev
and the build will be fine.
