This is still the case:

FAIL: run-test.sh

FAIL: run-test
==============
[...]
Running: Fallback to uuid
./run-test.sh: 397: uuidgen: not found
Aborting from 'Fallback to uuid' with the exit code 127

libuuid1 no longer recommends uuid-runtime. Now it just has
"Suggests: uuid-runtime". So I'm raising the severity to
serious, because after a usual installation, one gets a FTBFS.

I suspect that systems that have been obtained via upgrades
from Debian 12 or earlier will not see the issue, because the
uuid-runtime package was already installed via the required
package util-linux and "Suggests" packages are not removed by
default. But fresh Debian 13 systems would be affected.
