One thing that gives me grief and will affect everyone who "upgrades" via
install is the lack of consistency in user/group names to uid/gid mappings...
the LSB states:
User & Group Names
Below is a table of required mnemonic user and group names. This
specification makes no attempt to numerically assign uid or gid numbers. The
exceptions are the uid and gid for "root" which is equal to 0, and the uid and
gid for "bin" which is equal to 1.
So it would seem that the LSB won't tackle this... <SIGH>
I just started creating a "Wish List" at http://pfortin.com where you can see my
very initial comments on this issue.
