Looking at package 1.0-5 on Quantal, the behaviour seems to be following
the man page (which still suggestes  nullidentd [uid]):

(and RANDOM is now documented)

I can't see from the changelog where/if that changed, but it looks like
it's correct now.

So, closing as 'Fix Released'; (It seems unlikely such a change would
backport to whatever version you first reported it on)

** Changed in: nullidentd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
