It would be very nice if dpkg could manage system users and groups
created for each package.

At the moment I've got GID 105 for dbus on host A, while 105 is
used for saned on host B (just as an example). This is a severe
problem when A's root partition is visible somehow on B, e.g.
on a central backup server, or on an LXC server managing the
client rootfs in its own name space.

I would like to tell dpkg to use GID 105 for the dbus package on
all systems. If there is a conflict with an existing entry in
/etc/passwd or /etc/group, then it should refuse to install.

Do you think this could be done?
