Maybe I have the terms wrong, but I still do not see how a UUID helps
with this. You would identify a specific ancestor by name ("Etoys")
plus version ("edc.23"). What is the problem?
Going the other way, do you truly want to have a repository that has
two separate packages named Etoys-edc.23? That sounds like a recipe
for chaos.
