[DRE-maint] Bug#862329: gitlab: fails gitlab install on stretch with alternative gitlab user while configuring dbconfig-common

Package: gitlab
Version: 8.13.11+dfsg1-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Installing the gitlab package via apt on a clean Stretch environment resulted
in an dpkg error if the gitlab default user is changed from 'gitlab' to
something like 'git' in the debconf installation process (probably a common
use-case):

Please see the value of 'dbc_dbuser' as it contains:
dbc_dbuser='10 gitlab/db/app-user doesn'\''t exist'


Hope this helps.
