I think subuid/subgid is highly problematic and should go away. We
have better mechanisms these days, via idmapping (i.e. container files
on disk should never be owned by the uid/gid ranges they are actually
run in, but those should be dynamically allocated and mapped
dynamically via idmapping to the physical UID/GID range on disk)

That said, for compat with traditional subuid/subgid as per the table
on https://systemd.io/UIDS-GIDS the UID/GID range 524288…1879048191 is
mapped 1:1 on homed homes, thus if you use those things work as
before.

But again, just don't, subuid/subgid is a mistake if you ask me.
