That's not what happens when installing packages. Packages typically call useradd in %pre. If the user already exists the useradd is either not called or the error ignored.
This sounds like the way more pressing thing to fix then. I guess this OSEP should be about enforcing a useradd macro in factory...
How do you suggest that should be "fixed"?
Simple: If some package adds a user/group during installation and that action fails, it shouldn't fail silently and expose the risks Ludwig mentioned...
That would make it impossible to have pre-existing users, e.g. in LDAP or NIS. In our environment some daemon users are allocated there, to get defined common behavior. Especially good in clusters, or when NFS v3 is still used.
