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