I'd like to turn this around: First run adduser and only if it fails check for an existing condor user and issue a warning if it exists _and_ is locked down _and_ the package will use it as a daemon user. Otherwise fail. The code above would result in a warning message on every upgrade, even when the package did successfully create a system user itself. Objections?
