Yes, this is a lesson for me to check bugzilla and pay closer attention 
patches that are being posted - my apologies. FYI I was responding to a 
request from Richard on IRC rather than the bug report.

Qing's patch is slightly better than mine in that it splits the dev packages 
out as well; on the other hand it names the packages libuuid and libblkid 
rather than util-linux-libblkid and util-linux-libuuid. Personally it doesn't 
bother me, but having the prefix there does at least make it easy to determine 
the source recipe from the package name.

I think we do also need to bump PR on all packages that depend on these 
libraries (the other patches from my patchset) so that package dependencies 
get corrected automatically.

Qing, would you mind integrating these changes into your branch and reposting? 
(assuming we want the util-linux- package name prefix?)

Cheers,
Paul
