I've renamed the local user to "l<username>" and kept it as a
fallback/emergency user.  My user in IPA is just "<username>" and I
normally log in with the IPA user.  The users have different UIDs and
both users have sudo rights, so I can fix whatever is broken when
something isn't working.

It's somewhat unconvenient to rename the local user, but I'm quite happy
to have a fallback.  After moving to IPA I've started adding that user
when installing a new system as the first user.
