Default user now UID 1000 instead of 999?

Hello,

 tomas@alfons:~$ lh_build --version
 lh_build, version 1.0.0

(as of fairly recent Lenny). Changing the "default user name" involves
setting

config/binary:
  # $LH_USERNAME: set username
  LH_USERNAME="gast"

in config/binary. This works, but the user gets now an UID of 1000
(instead of 999). Thus the hack in

config/chroot_local-hooks/10-chown-home:
  #!/bin/sh
  chown -R 999:999 /home/gast

won't work any more. Setting it by name is't an option since this user
is not known yet.

Now it wouldn't be a problem exchanging 999 for 1000 here (it's my
current workaround, in fact), but -- is 1000 stable now? Or shall I
shift the chown to the boot phase of the live system?

Thanks for any insight
