TBH, I see little reason to not just enable it wholesale [1]. There
are no new build or binary dependencies, it does not change the
default behaviour as the .service is ConditionNeedsUpdate=/etc (which
will practically never trigger -- we don't support empty /etc in
Debian yet), but this introduces useful functionality for moving the
adduser business to become declarative. The main downside is that it
increases the package size by ~ 380 kB (uncompressed).
If we do this, we should do it correctly though and patch
/usr/lib/sysusers.d/basic.conf to have Debian's static gids and remove
wheel.
Opinions/objections?
