Pcakage: uuid-runtime
Version: 2.20.1-5.2
Severity: normal
uuid-runtime description states it is used by libuuid:
$ dpkg -p uuid-runtime | tail -6
The uuidd daemon is used to generate UUIDs, especially time-based
UUID???s, in a secure and guaranteed-unique fashion, even in the face
of large numbers of threads trying to grab UUID???s running on
different CPU???s. It is used by libuuid as well as the uuidgen
program.

Yet libuuid1 only recommends uuid-runtime:
$ dpkg -p libuuid1 | grep Recommends
Recommends: uuid-runtime
Quoting http://bugs.debian.org/695719 :
the vast majority of installations of libuuid1 don't actually
*need* uuid-runtime
Shouldn't the relation of uuid-runtime and libuuid1 be clearer?
