This would be the toplevel (root) of all UID generated from the
dicom3tools package.
Hmm, I'm not sure whether this helps. May be I missunderstood the
problem but is the UID per *package* or per *installation*. IMHO
assigning a UID to a Debian package makes not much sense because
it is finally interesting for the organisation which *installs*
this package. So rather than generating the UID in the build process
it should be created in the postinst and the admin who is installing
the package should register this UID at IANA.
So we should find a way how to find some reasonable means to
*generate* a UID which was not registered yet. Asking for an
Organisation name per debconf and perhaps using a part of the
MD5 sum or something like that and *combining* it with a
*template* for the package comes to mind.
Did I missed something?
Kind regards
Andreas.
