Not really. As policy puts it:
100-999:
Dynamically allocated system users and groups. Packages which
need a user or group, but can have this user or group allocated
dynamically and differently on each system, should use ``adduser
--system'' to create the group and/or user. `adduser' will check
for the existence of the user or group, and if necessary choose
an unused id based on the ranged specified in `adduser.conf'.
