This only finds local accounts whereas using getpwent would respect the settings in /etc/nsswitch.conf and also find accounts provided via ldap, nis, etc. This means that login screens (eg, lightdm) don't display the full list of users, only those in /etc/passwd. All users are able to login, so this is an annoyance rather than a serious problem. accountsservice 0.6.14-1git1 in oneiric (haven't checked other versions).
