systemd-firstboot can set the root user password, but it cannot create
other users. But maybe we should extend it allow that. We recently had
a discussion about adding support for creating "normal" users from
systemd-sysusers, and the conclusion was that we can add a basic mode
where /etc/skel is copied and the user is written to file databases.
If people think this would be useful, I could that this idea upstream.
