You have it too simple. Correct way to check account is getent (user can 
use ldap, NIS...). And it can happen that group exist, but username not, 
and vice versa. This is sniplet we use in Spacewalk project:

%define package_name nocpulse
getent group %{package_name} >/dev/null || groupadd -r %{package_name}
getent passwd %{package_name} >/dev/null || \
useradd -r -g %{package_name} -G apache \
        -d %{_var}/lib/%{package_name} -s /bin/bash \
        -c "NOCpulse user" %{package_name}
