I have only seen this in the (by now quite old) gnu-20000301.tar.gz
file:
- -rwxr-xr-x root/root 184 Dec 03 18:24 1999
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/ae.prerm
- -rw-r--r-- root/marcus 96 Feb 10 15:16 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.conffiles
- -rw-r--r-- root/root 1116 Feb 28 13:51 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.list
- -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 549 Feb 10 15:16 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.preinst
- -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 2872 Feb 10 15:16 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst
- -rwxr-xr-x root/marcus 129 Feb 10 15:16 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.prerm
- -rwxr-xr-x root/root 53 Nov 05 14:08 1999
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.preinst
- -rw-r--r-- root/root 376 Feb 28 13:50 2000
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.list
- -rwxr-xr-x root/root 1442 Nov 29 17:56 1999
gnu/var/lib/dpkg/info/base-passwd.postinst
And it seems that gid(marcus) is 1000. ;-)
In the current gnu-20000913.tar.gz file, there's no trace of this.
There are only uid root and gid's staff, users, src etc. I don't
think there's a reason to update the current tar file...
Cheers,
