This is the reason because we didn't include this change into Debian: I understand that repeating code is not so smart, but decoupling the action of creating user from the packages that actually need it, in my opinion is worst since it hides the reasons behind the user creation. > I would be OK with that: I am fine putting together a patch to create > a “slurm-common” package that does the user creation.

I think that a package for the user creation is a bit excessive. Best regards, -- Gennaro Oliva
