Sorry, but I don't get your point. The range from 100-999 is defined to be for local use of the sysadmin. However, packages can get "dynamically" UIDs in this range by calling `adduser --system', but only if the sysadmin has allowed this through the `/etc/adduser.conf' file. Or did I got your question wrong?
