The real issue here is that php5-uuid is NOT the PECL uuid package, but instead OSSP uuid package (it says so in the description -- granted, it doesn't say that it is not the PECL package but I wouldn't expect Firefox package to say that it is not Internet Explorer either, if you know what I mean.).
Considering that all(?) other php5-whatever packages are PECL packages, it would make sense to rename this package to php5-ossp-uuid and to create a new package php5-uuid which would contain the PECL implementation. In the long run, *all* PECL packages should probably be renamed from php5-whatever to php5-pecl-whatever to lessen problems such as this in the future.
