Bug#43483: [proposal] section 3.2 should not allow static user ids (except root=0).



Package: debian-policy
Version: web page 1999-8-25

Debian allows static user ids. This is not a good idea. 
the code necessary to use static id's is pretty small
(several versions on debian-devel 1999-8-25), so every
daemon should do so. this way its easy to use a package
on a non-debian linux where user id's might be different,
and also helps a lot with nfs. 

there is a rumor, that lsb (linux standard base) will propose this.
