For uuidd, no idea if a bootscript is sensible. But for fstrim,
after looking at the manpage, I can't see the point. I happen to
use 'discard' in fstab so I have no reason to use fstrim[¹], but the
manpage suggests that running it weekly per mountpoint will often be
sufficient.
So I assume that people who use fstrim, at least on sysv, put it in
a cron job.
1. I did forget to add it to fstab on one system, and had to run it
manually after I noticed that repeated runs of an SBU build were
getting slower and slower.
