Andres points out offlist that contrib/uuid no longer requires ossp-uuid
in 9.4 anyway; libuuid may be used.
In old releases that was part of e2fsprogs . In RHEL5 it appears in
e2fsprogs-libs .
I haven't done a test build yet, but perhaps that dependency can just be
replaced with libuuid from e2fsprogs-libs and an appropriate
package-level dependency. Sure, it's a weird dependency, but it saves
depending on EPEL for this.
