> given that kmod may not available in some distro version

I'm on Debian and use my self-compiled systemd v208 with a self-made
kmod_15.deb file. Packaging kmod is dead easy, it's a very
straightforward package. Using the newest kmod doesn't hurt Debian
Stable nor Debian SID. So the Debian packagers of systemd could very
easily package a decent version of kmod if they think that their
version of systemd should use if.

If they think that it's not worth the hassle, then they could simply
apply --disable-kmod. Both systemd and udev source code have the
proper #ifdef HAVE_KMOD guarding.
