Another option is to do this:

Because of utilizing libblkid from tools, which means the multilib  
books need multiple util linux builds for 32bit and n32 libblkid  
installs, I say we put a note at util-linux stating if you want to  
utilize the extra features for findmnt and lsblk and udev, rebuild  
util-linux after systemd.

How does that sound?

This is definitely more work than should be required just to include  
util-linux.

I've never used the utilties, but someone out there may use them and  
want the extra features when using findmnt and lsblk when using libudev.

Sincerely,
