Well, they are supposed to be "universally unique", right?  So the
more uniqueness, the better!

Seriously, it sounds like Monticello would be better off using the
name of the package as the identifier, instead of a generated random
number or whatever it uses.  In this case, "Etoys" would seem to make
a great identifier.

Maybe it is not even too late.  Could the tools simply detect that the
packages are using generated uuid's, and then guess a "uuid" by
looking at the filename?  E.g., for a file named "Etoys-edc.23",
quietly treating the uuid as "Etoys"?
