I don't understand why we need these.
The advantages of sysusers.d and tmpfiles.d are that you don't need to
call some magic scripts.
You only need to write declarative configuration files.
On systemd system, they are handled by systemd-sysusers.service and
systemd-tmpfiles-*.service.
You really don't need to care where the binaries are located.
On openrc system, I think they are handled by corresponding init services too.

Where is /usr/bin/systemd-sysusers? at least not in testing.
