I need uuidgen for my Linux shell scripts, but it's not on my Debian 7.1 net install.
apt-get install uuidgen fails, it's not clear what package I should be using, and existing questions seem to ask for alternatives rather than the real uuidgen.
Could someone with experience with uuidgen comment on where to get it, and why it's not in its own package?
PS. If this is on the wrong StackExchange site, point me in the correct direction.

A Universal Unique Identifier (UUID) is used to uniquely identify an interface. The uuidgen command is used to generate UUIDs. The output might look something like the following.
Try installing this:
sudo apt-get install uuid-runtime
