Ah, thanks!

Hm, I would just have gone with

  Conflicts: doc-base (<= 0.10.3)
  
which will also cover backports, or any other weird version in between
that people might have created. It might be slightly stronger than
necessary, but we already have a whole lot of exactly this conflict on
other packages.

Yep, my idea exactly. I'll upload that to libuuid-perl now and will
then see if any more reports come in.

Thanks,

Martin
