I tend to agree with your suggestion but I also stick to upstream name
(which is uuidm) that I don't control. Diverting from upstream is not
good, so I think I will stay with uuidm (the "m" is saving me ;-)

I don't think upstream will switch to ocaml-uuid (which is the package
name I will have chosen if I have done it).
