commit 2427efef1fd056b47d7366cfa2107e85664b1d47
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Sat May 9 19:23:33 2026 +0100

    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.
