Not so much of a complaint rather than just trying to understand how
Debian works. I still think that's a very large 'if' to clutter the
system based on the information provided so far but I'm far from a
developer. I would think developers could better configure the package
installer (apt) to assign standard UID / GID once that time comes the
user elects to install the software rather than pre-loading them but
that's just me. Maybe the more I read, the better this will make
sense.
