That's an interesting question, I don't know the answer. I think it
will fail because ignoring the error would be worse for most of the
cases.
And all that assumes that you can execute systemd-sysusers, no?
systemd is the only init officially supported and partial updates are
not supported so I think we can assume it will be available with this
new version of the package.
After thinking, maybe removing the dirs from the package is not a so
good idea. It reminds me the /usr/bin merge, which doesn't seem to be
possible with tmpfiles.d. However, systemd-sysusers seems to be a good
idea, especially for package creation. And stateless boot is cool.
Stateless boot is cool for embedded appliances, not so much for
desktop/server installations.
