Note that we did use that long time ago, and we decided to stop using it
because enabling that extension required an additional RPM package
(postgrersql-contrib) and different mechanisms to enable it in
PostgreSQL 8 and PostgreSQL 9, which was cumbersome. As we should now
support only PostgreSQL 9.2 or newer, this may be no longer a problem.
In that case you can just remove our "uuid_generate_v1" function and
enable the extension, the name of the function is the same.

However, it would be better, in general, to generate the identifiers
outside of the database, and pass them as parameters to the stored
procedures or SQL statements, that way we have less dependencies.

See bug 870056 for additional information.
