Consensus on this recently seemed to be that there's no real way of
preventing users from creating collisions because the namespaces are
shared, but a method that's been adopted by quite a few packages is to
prefix system users with debian- so your system user would be debian-rspamd.

You can find the recent thread here if you'd like to read it:
