[PROPOSAL] Drop 30000-59999 uid/gid reservation

[Wichert Akkerman <wichert@wiggy.net>]

Package: debian-policy
Severity: wishlist

We have reserved the 30000-59999 uid/gid range for ages, but never used
it and observing the current rate of growth I don't think it makes sense
to keep them reserved: Debian will not use that range in the next
century, while large systems definitely can use the extra room.

Also, we should add a reservation for 2^64-1 for systems with 64 bit
uid/gids.

Wichert.
