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.
