The login user is not needed for its uid. But it is needed for its home
directory. In fact, it's uid could very well be -1 (that's what it used to
be originally, in Debian GNU/Hurd it was not possible to set it up that way
with the existing scripts).
I don't really care how the login user ends up in /etc/passwd.
Thanks,
