If I recall correctly the last set of patches unconditionally used
--disable-libblkid, and what I need is.....

So the patch ideal patch I'd like to see is one where you can toggle a
flag and debian/rules will either build for util-linux or
util-linux-ng.  If you've sent such a patch, my apologies for
overlooking it, but as I recall the only patch I got made the
unconditional changes to debian/rules.  When I commented on that you
said that you understood that was just a proof-of-concept patch, and
so I let things drop.

Are the .deb packages somewhere where I can examine them?
