I would be very comfortable with the transition, the only thing that
could break is if a package wanted to install an "application-user"
type netry with UID >500, don't think that's a worry and the worse
case there is the package install would barf (even assuming the
package config is too dumb to pick an alterate UID, which I doubt)

Infact in my NIS world the lowest "normal" UID is 203, don't know if
she's logged into any of the Debian boxen...
