    Install and use sysusers.d/tmpfiles.d config files
    
    sysusers.d/tmpfiles.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.

commit 801c8c90a48d977fcb8bad466b22efa7afa6f0db
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue May 12 23:04:42 2026 +0100

    Stop deleting system user and group on purge
    
    Removing system users/groups on purge is widely considered bad
    practice, as the kernel recycles UIDs/GIDs. So any potential
    leftover file/directory can then become owned by the next user/group
    that gets added, with unpredictable consequences.
