My experience is that these users actually preserve their uid over installations quite well.This is only true for users with a UID < 100, as these are defined and maintained by the base-passwd package. System users with a higher UID get their UID and GID allocated at package installation time and use the first ones that are available. So these vary greatly between systems.
Then I learned something. Thanks for the info.
