There is a dummy systemd development library installed, to enable build of some
packages:
ii  libsystemd-dev    222-1         hurd-i386     Dummy systemd utility library

This is a Debian construct.

#> dpkg -s libsystemd-dev
Package: libsystemd-dev
Status: install ok installed
Priority: extra
Section: oldlibs
Installed-Size: 27
Maintainer: Debian systemd Maintainers <pkg-systemd-maintainers@lists.alioth.deb
ian.org>
Architecture: hurd-i386
Source: libsystemd-dummy
Version: 222-1
Description: Dummy systemd utility library
 This package provides a dummy version of the libsystemd-dev
 package for the architectures which lack an implementation of the library.

#> dpkg -L libsystemd-dev
/.
/usr
/usr/include
/usr/include/systemd
/usr/include/systemd/sd-daemon.h
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/pkgconfig
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsystemd.pc
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/libsystemd-dev
/usr/share/doc/libsystemd-dev/copyright
/usr/share/doc/libsystemd-dev/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsystemd-daemon.pc

Maybe you should have some better way of detecting libsystemd presence?
man pkg-config:
pkg-config retrieves information about packages from special metadata files.
These files are named after the package, and has a .pc extension.

On the GNU/Hurd system no libsystemd* library exist!

See above:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsystemd.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsystemd-daemon.pc

I don't really understand why a GNU project adds support for the systemd
disaster. Take a look at Guix, they chose another way out. Additionally we have
Devuan and their downstream releases.
