Sorry, I thought I had answered the question. I believe that although libudev-device-db-write.c is in the "lib" directory, it is not actually linked into libudev. You can surely confirm this yourself by looking at the commands used to build libudev... or by building libudev on it's own after removing the libudev-device-db-write.c file. Note that in the current git tree, udev/lib is moved to /libudev, and there is at least one more "private" file under /libudev which is not linked into the LGPL library, but which is only used in the GPL'd daemon. It looks like they have all been named "libudev-*-private.c". Hopefully that should provide a little more clarity of intent.
