It's preferred to use a full URL to the source archive. If for some reason no
such URL exists, at least there must be a comment in the spec file explaining
how to obtain that exact source archive.
Did you read http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:SourceURL ? It even has
examples for github hosted projects.
I don't understand why this is controversial. What disadvantages do you see?

> Do you know if SUSE will automatically get the dependency on libuuid?

I'm pretty sure it will.
At least on a current openSUSE Tumbleweed it works as expected. This is what
happens if I try to remove libuuid1:
# rpm -e libuuid1
error: Failed dependencies:
         libuuid.so.1()(64bit) is needed by (installed) libSM6-1.2.2-5.4.x86_64
... and many more errors like this, while there are none about "libuuid1".
This demonstrates that openSUSE too uses dependencies on library sonames and
not on library package names.
