Package: libuuid1
Version: 1.40.5-2
Severity: wishlist

Does it really need a suid daemon to format a disk? Here we have a
simple library that after a while of existence suddenly requires a
deamon and an id/gid pair for some trivial functionality. Isn't
this an overkill?

OK, I have read Ted Tsos mail to lkml, but I still would like uuidd to
go away again. Do all OS grow fat when ageing?
