The -l (lock) has been temporary disabled due to conflict with
udev (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79576)

The problem is fixed since util-linux v2.25 (Jul 2014).

         During runtime, you need the following additional
         dependencies:
-        util-linux >= v2.19 (requires fsck -l, agetty -s),
+        util-linux >= v2.19 required for agetty -s
                       v2.21 required for tests in test/
+                      v2.25 required for fsck -l

Well, actually it should be util-linux >= v2.25 now. -l is always enabled,
so on earlier versions of util-linux the bug remains.

         dbus >= 1.4.0 (strictly speaking optional, but recommended)
sulogin (from util-linux >= 2.22 or sysvinit-tools, optional but recommended,
                  required for tests in test/)
