I don't known anything about Debian. But I did check the rpm's from F27 and the rpm's from
brltty.com.
The rpm's from britty.com do not contain any scripts.
One of the advantages of systemd was supposed to be collecting some of the
hidden magic of package installers into more visible and less distro-dependent
systemd files.
The rpm's from Fedora do contain scripts and the script which creates the group is within
the brlapi rpm and the group is created in the "normal" way. I don't know what you mean
by "creating groups with systemd"
The PREIN script contains
getent group brlapi >/dev/null || groupadd -r brlapi >/dev/null
The Changelog at
britty.com
for the 6.3 release says
the systemd component was changed to create the brlapi group if it
doesn't exist, so the same functionality as the script. Maybe the change
was a response to systems that failed to run the install script. What
creates the brltty group?
Additionally F34 will have brltty-6.3-1.fc34 which includes brlapi-0.8.2-1.fc34 and that contains
the same PREIN script.
I live in a world that includes Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows. Organizations I work
with use CentOS for large scale batch processing but make the users run Windows, so
anything that makes it easier for developers to support multiple platforms is of interest.
Thanks for checking the Fedora rpms. It looks like visually impaired users will be
encountering lots of changes for Wayland and the sound system going forward.
