The so version number for the package is still 1; so the packages
containing the binary shared libraries are libuuid1 and libblkid1.
What gets confusing is that version numbers for libblkid-dev,
libuuid-dev, libblkid1, and libuuid1 will be 2.16.x, not because of
any soversion number, but because that's the version number of
util-linux-ng.
