Without reading whole thread and participating in yet another flame war (I reply only because I was in a CC): the 300 baseuid is a bad value but one of the best what I can use as a default. When you want to use fedora-usermgmt, pick an empty UID range and reserve it for system users. Here, it is the 63000-65000 range but this will probably vary on your system. Then, put this number into /etc/fedora/usermgmt/base[ug]id and activate whole stuff by /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --set fedora-usermgmt /etc/fedora/usermgmt/scripts.shadow-utils and install your packages. I described in some other threads how to do this stuff in early initializiation phases (kickstart); basically it was the creation of a new package which provides 'flavor(fedora-usermgmt-setup)'.
