Package: debian-installer Severity: wishlist Tags: d-i Hello, we have users and groups which evolved from an old systems, and now their UIDs/GIDs are conflicting with the Debian default ones (as defined in /etc/adduser.conf)
Given the debian packages users creation starts as early as during the installation (for example, systemd users), it would be great if we could specify FIRST/LAST_SYSTEM_UID/GID via preseed, so that we can specify a range not conflicting with the internal ones. There is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640651 where something similar was asked to 'adduser' maints, but indeed this is better done in the installation phase, hence this report (and the reason I'm CCing all those who replied in #640651 to this report).
