    Install and use sysusers.d config file
    
    sysusers.d config files allow a package to use declarative
    configuration instead of manually written maintainer scripts.
    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.
