Bug#666160: wget: consider using libuuid for compilation/linking

Package: wget
Version: 1.13.4-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

wget --version shows no usage of libuuid.
The fallback code in warc.c is documented as being inferior to
libuuid. Here is what it says:
# ifndef HAVE_LIBUUID
/* Fills uuid_str with a UUID based on random numbers.
(See RFC 4122, UUID version 4.)

Note: this is a fallback method, it is much better to use the
methods provided by libuuid.
...

Please use libuuid. Thanks.
