I believe the README.md is outdated here. If you read the sources, you'll see that it is indeed never used. Thanks for spotting the missing libmount-dev removal. If in doubt, I suggest that you build elogind normally, then turn libmount-dev and libblkid-dev into Build-Conflicts without changing debian/changelog. If you build such a modified package, you'll observe that the resulting .debs are bit-identical to the previous once since elogind is normally reproducible. That should be quite a strong clue, no?
