Hi Guido,
Packages that add unprivileged users to e.g. run daemons as need to use names that follow the following regular expression:
^_[0-9a-z][0-9a-z_]*$
I don't think the second character should be starting with a digit, so something like '^_[a-z][0-9a-z_]+$' would be more sensible. Furthermore I think the user/group name that is added should have some correspondence to the package itself. My initial thought would have been "must have sub part of package name as part of its name", but that is slightly too strict (like e.g. forbidding www for apache2, which might not be what we want). Out of curiosity: did you compare this suggested policy to what other distributions (debian or fedora for example) do? We're not going to win anything by being for example explicitely incompatible with Debian. The reason I'm mentioning this is because some upstreams do not accept patches for adding support for something that is debian policy incompatible.
