Well, at least *I* have a use case: the few machines I install at work
manually. We have a policy where user ID's should be out company's ID
(e.g. 7426 for myself) and I always end up in either using usermod
after installs...or not respect the company's policy..:)
So, I bet that we can find a few other use cases here and there. As
the code is here, I imagined it could be not that hard to keep it and
add a few interactive stuff around it.
As you mention, the "only" big deal are translations....which is about
10 strings....

OK, waiting for more input. Maybe this idea will drop by itself.
