A convention about special usernames for users created by debian
packages would be nice, yes. But we're far from a consensus on this
issue, and the exim4 model is, err, somewhat disputed (see bugs
#223831, #223963, #225031, #233803, #255493, and the discussion that
followed on debian-devel). I'm more inclined to use debian-systraq
then, with a lowercase as in debian-{mixmaster, mixminion, tor}.
