A few more details would be nice to have here, but I see that the
package itself doesn't really provide a more detailed description of
what it does. It also apparently doesn't have an upstream site.

You should use BR2_DEBIAN_MIRROR here. See package/argus/argus.mk for
example. Or probably better, use http://snapshot.debian.net/, as in
package/fakeroot/fakeroot.mk. Using snapshot.debian.net ensures that
the file will always be present at this location.

I checked and confirm that the license appears to be LGPLv2.1, without
the plus.

LOCKDEV_LICENSE_FILES

Building the shared variant will not work when
BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB=y.

I am not sure using the 'install' target is appropriate here. Looking
at the package Makefile, it not only installs the library, in usr/lib,
but also some debug stuff in usr/lib/debug, some profile stuff in
usr/lib/profile, etc.

So, I believe it should probably be something like (untested) :

ifeq ($(BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB),y)
define LOCKDEV_BUILD_CMDS
	$(MAKE1) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) -C $(@D) static
endef

define LOCKDEV_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS
	$(MAKE1) basedir=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr -C $(@D) install_dev
endef

else # BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB

define LOCKDEV_BUILD_CMDS
	$(MAKE1) $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) -C $(@D) static shared
endef

define LOCKDEV_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS
	$(MAKE1) basedir=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr -C $(@D) install_dev install_run
	ln -sf $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.$(LOCKDEV_VERSION).so $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.so
	ln -sf $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.$(LOCKDEV_VERSION).so $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.so.1
endef

define LOCKDEV_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS
	$(MAKE1) basedir=$(TARGET_DIR)/usr -C $(@D) install_run
	ln -sf $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.$(LOCKDEV_VERSION).so $(TARGET_DIR)/usr/lib/liblockdev.so.1
endef

endif # BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB

Best regards,
