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?
