Even if it defaults to not creating the user?  I think that's what
Ivan was going for: default to building a "safe" package that doesn't
create new users, while providing the option for builders to create an
"automagical" package by specifying those users/groups/UIDs/GIDs if
desired.

Just my two cents.
