Hmm, linux really has it at /usr/lib/

Maybe you could ask the e2fsprogs-devel maintainer to rename his uuid 
lib, or put it into some subdir. "ss" for subsystem seems also to be a 
common name. His headers for example go into subdirs: uuid/uuid.h

It's not the best attitude to trample on these namespaces,
with _libdir=/usr/lib:

%{_libdir}/libcom_err.a
%{_libdir}/libcom_err.so
%{_libdir}/libe2p.a
%{_libdir}/libe2p.so
%{_libdir}/libext2fs.a
%{_libdir}/libext2fs.so
%{_libdir}/libss.a
%{_libdir}/libss.so
%{_libdir}/libblkid.a
%{_libdir}/libblkid.so
%{_libdir}/libuuid.a
%{_libdir}/libuuid.so
