There already are ocaml bindings for libuuid1:
Package: libuuid1
Description: Universally Unique ID library
The libuuid library generates and parses 128-bit universally unique
ids (UUIDs). A UUID is an identifier that is unique across both
space and time, with respect to the space of all UUIDs. A UUID can
be used for multiple purposes, from tagging objects with an extremely
short lifetime, to reliably identifying very persistent objects
across a network.
.
See RFC 4122 for more information.
Package: libuuidm-ocaml-dev
Description: Universally unique identifiers for OCaml
This library is an OCaml module implementing 128 bits universally unique
identifiers (uuid) version 3, 5 (name based with MD5, SHA-1 hashing) and 4
(random based) according to RFC 4122.
.
This package contains header and OCaml library.
Not knowing your source does your uuid do something different, something
more? Could they be merged?
