Yes, quite annoying that they are visible.

Actually, they are needed by Gosa, and can't be removed.  We could
adjust the NSS setup to try to hide them, but it is hard to do in a
way that do not make it harder to upgrade packages.

Perhaps we could change their uid to a value below 1000, and switch to
sssd and tell it to hide all users with uid below 1000?  It can be
done without making packages harder to upgrade.

So far we have just ignored these template users.  After all, it is
just a visual glitch, and no security problem.
