[Bug 1883428] Re: Use sysusers.d format

[Dan Streetman]

For the systemd packages, this is better fixed by Debian and then inherited by Ubuntu, and there is Debian MR to do this:
https://salsa.debian.org/systemd-team/systemd/-/merge_requests/121

Once that's merged, Ubuntu will pick it up in the next release.

For other packages that create user accounts, it doesn't make sense to
open a bug against systemd - each package that needs modification should
be listed in the bug.

This isn't a change that makes sense to SRU into existing releases,
however, so I'm marking this as wont-fix (for existing releases...again,
the systemd package in future releases will be changed via the above
linked Debian MR).

** Changed in: systemd (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Won't Fix

Title:
  Use sysusers.d format

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Similar to 
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Adopting_sysusers.d_format Ubuntu should adopt modern sysusers.d format so the users added and removed by various packages could be properly cleared without polluting end-user system once the corresponding package is removed. This would also simplify the packages which needs to install system users.
