apt-file search /usr/lib/sysusers.d will tell you which packages use 
sd-syusers.


$ apt-file search /usr/lib/sysusers.d/ | wc -l
43

So yeah, if there is a problem with sd-sysusers, it should be addressed, 
as this interface is becoming more ubiquitous.

So if you have a good reproducer and a debug log, please let us know and 
we will reopen this bug report.
