If the account creation was only in gdm, how would a user know that they need to create an account before they login? - would this be an obvious step? IMO presenting the account creation in firstboot is the way to let a user know that they should create a user account. And since the code would be reused from the other account creation code it shouldn't be too hard to create the module.
