add a dependency on passwd for libuuid1?  The aternative would be to
roll-my-own useradd/adduser functionality, but that would be a real
PITA....

There are several other possibilities:
- Move the user creation. It is necessary for uuid-runtime (uuidd), not
  libuuid.

Actually the user is created twice currently: in libuuid1.postinst and uuid-runtime.postinst.

Ted, could you please eloborate why you need the useradd in libuuid1.postinst at all?

Cheers,
Michael
