One problem with these sysusers rpm macros is that they expand to the
scriptlets very early: before even the main source tarball is extracted.
This is why the fedora packaging guideline more or less forces them to
be first-class spec sources.

In the case of systemtap, we worked around this by moving the sysusers
config files right into the spec file - out of the source tarball - and
feed them to %pre and %install scripts by hand.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemtap/blob/rawhide/f/systemtap.spec#_91
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemtap/blob/rawhide/f/systemtap.spec#_688
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/systemtap/blob/rawhide/f/systemtap.spec#_818

IMO this is ugly and unfortunate.
