I am not sure it is a good idea to drop this patch. Indeed, without
this patch, Python will auto-detect the presence of util-linux (if it
gets built before), and use it. This means that we don't have the same
Python configuration depending on whether util-linux is built before
Python or not.

Keeping the patch would allow to pass an unconditional --disable-uuid.

Best regards,

Thomas
