Ah, that's a trick I had not thought about - an early-install package
that creates a list of accts on preset ids. And if that is
complemented with each packaging creating its accounts if they are
missing (in %pre) as outlined in the wikipage you linked to.

Now, I had read the wikipage before, but not caught the full meaning
of the phrase that mentions "setup" in it -- well placed at the end of
a long paragraph, perhaps my confusion comes from not being a
dedicated enough reader :-)

In-te-res-ting.

Now what I need to learn are tricks to ensure an early install of my
custom setup pkg.
