Not to out myself as dumb (I'm uninformed, not dumb), but would it be
better to do the useradd and groupadd in %preinst ? otherwise, just how
would the filesystem / kernel determinate the needed numeric values for
uid/gid during the %install of the files / directories?

I'm asking here to clear this up before something inherently false is
propagated as "correct" way without any thought on the consequences.

Cheers, Yamaban.
