Well, this is not what I read from Policy §9.2.2 [1]:
=====
9.2.2 UID and GID classes

The UID and GID numbers are divided into classes as follows:
[...]

100-999:
   
    Dynamically allocated system users and groups. Packages which need
    a user or group, but can have this user or group allocated
    dynamically and differently on each system, should use adduser
    --system to create the group and/or user. adduser will check for
    the existence of the user or group, and if necessary choose an
    unused id based on the ranges specified in adduser.conf.
=====

Thus, I reopened the bug, as IMHO dbus needs to create the netdev user
during postinst.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
