Install and use sysusers.d config files
sysusers.d config files allows a package to use declarative configuration
instead of manually written maintainer scripts.
Install files for the packages using adduser, and switch over.
This also allows image-based systems to be created with /usr/ only, and
also allows for factory resetting a system and recreating /etc/ on boot.

Also stop deleting the user on purge, as that is considered
bad practice, as any potential leftover file/directory can then become
owned by the next user/group that gets added, with unpredictable
consequences.
