Oh, and now I found this in the dbus manual:

DESCRIPTION
The dbus-uuidgen command generates or reads a universally unique ID. See
  http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/  for  more  information
about D-Bus.

The primary usage of dbus-uuidgen is to run in the post-install  script
of a D-Bus package like this:

         dbus-uuidgen --ensure

This  will ensure that /var/lib/dbus/machine-id exists and has the uuid
in it.  It won't overwrite an  existing  uuid,  since  this  id  should
remain fixed for a single machine until the next reboot at least.

should probably be included in the Recipe's post_install hook... =)
