[Bug 1881588] Re: pre-seeding lxd on Core appliances breaks console-conf user creation

[Oliver Grawert]

while ignoring UID's below 1000 might help in the short term, the
"managed" state has a lot more meanings in brand stores and we will
likely encounter more breakage introduced by it when customers pre-seed
lxd on branded device images so this side of things needs to still be
examined. the lxd user should never turn the device to managed state.

i cant see any code in the lxd snap that would create it, where exactly
does the user creation even happen ?

  pre-seeding lxd on Core appliances breaks console-conf user creation

Bug description:
  when seeding appliance images with lxd, user creation gets impossible.

  console-conf skips the user creation, system-user assertions do not
  work either because there is already a user exisiting in the image.

  the tty screen shows instructions to log in with "lxd@<IP ADDRESS>"
  ...

  since the lxd user is a special case hack in Ubuntu Core images, "snap
  create-user ..." should probably learn to ignore its existence ...
