Three points:
1. I got this straight from the policy 11.9.1. This is the recommended
practise for dynamic user ids. Is the policy wrong? (on second
thoughts; I forgot to implement the recommended "The corresponding
`dpkg-statoverride --remove' calls can then be made unconditionally when
the package is purged.")
2. If the policy is wrong, what should I do instead? I can't
call adduser in the build script...
3. This would appear to be a problem even if the maintainer scripts
do not call dpkg-statoverride, as I said before, I never delete
the override, I think dpkg must be doing that.
