Hi, This sounds like an interesting approach. The -R switch sets an alternate root for the package delivery, so the package's dependencies also need to exist at the same location. This makes the problem larger than just adding a user. I think I would limit the scope of the package, creating a package per user, so the alternate root would not be needed.
Please post the solution you come up with. This sounds like an interesting idea.
