Thanks for the investigations, Paolo and Jérémy.

Yes, node-node-uuid is quite confusing and I am happy that upstream haas 
cleaned up that mess, so we can do so as well (our package was wrongly 
named and partially corrected in release 1.2.0~20110510-2 to at least 
get the binary package correct).

I will look into updating the package, including checking that its 
reverse dependencies work with the newer+renamed node-uuid.
