I would suggest to simply create polkitd user and group using useradd instead of systemd, ignore the error message indicating the user exists or whatever might happen, and then try to use the polkitd user. If this last step fails, then the postinst script can exit with an error.I don't know of any other package (except for systemd) using systemd-sysusers
apt-file search /usr/lib/sysusers.d will tell you which packages use sd-syusers.
$ apt-file search /usr/lib/sysusers.d/ | wc -l 43So yeah, if there is a problem with sd-sysusers, it should be addressed, as this interface is becoming more ubiquitous.
So if you have a good reproducer and a debug log, please let us know and we will reopen this bug report.
