Docs [1] say that: OSSP uuid library is not well maintained, and is becoming increasingly difficult to port to newer platforms; so we can put 'uuid-ossp' to the end. Between 'uuid-e2fs' and 'uuid-bsd', I believe 'uuid-e2fs' is used more often than 'uuid-bsd'. Hence, they can be ordered as 'uuid-e2fs', 'uuid-bsd', 'uuid-ossp'. Does that make sense?
