but failed to follow-up, so I'm glad to see this getting revisited.
I started looking into this, and I think we need to start at the
bottom, i.e. in the setup package.
It currently provides /etc/{passwd,group} with a bunch of ids (23 groups)
and /usr/lib/sysusers.d/20-setup-{users,groups} with a bunch of entries,
but some of the groups listed in sysusers are not listed in the /etc files.
IIUC, once we enable the rpm stuff, rpm will create /etc/{passwd,group}
automatically, and the file provided by setup will be ignored.
(It's specified as %config(noreplace).)
Should be drop the static /etc/{passwd,group} from setup?
The static files aren't harmful as long as they're not duplicated in
other packages.
I seem to recall seeing systemd-sysusers error out if those files were
not present, but I might be misremembering and/or it might've changed
since then. The default mechanism uses useradd/groupadd though, I don't
know if those support non-existent /etc/{passwd,group}.
