I am all for that reasoning, but in this case (and other topics that
I "combined", as well), one had textual dependencies on the other,
and didn't make sense to split them into two, as neither part can
advance without affecting the other, if I recall correctly.

I actually do agree with the objection that www-data is a contrived
thing to use in the examples, not because the user www-data is
distro specific, but because it involves one physical human user
acting on two accounts, instead of two human users interacting with
each other.
