Sorry, that's a point where I insist on: when a Fedora Extras package
uses fedora-usermgmt, then it MUST have the corresponding 'Requires(...):
fedora-usermgmt'.

Creating undeterministic behavior by randomly executing plain 'useradd'
or 'fedora-useradd' is not my idea of package management.

I forgot (should know my packages better): doing this kind of customization
can and should be done in a package providing 'setup(fedora-usermgmt)'. You
just need to add such a package to the kickstart %package list and with
proper 'Requires(...): fedora-usermgmt' things should work.
