Well...IMO there are some ways resolve this problem:
1. Do not change it, the owner of /srv/gmediaserver will be changing all time
when the package user will be having other uid/gid and the files are often 644,
so the program can read it. I think it is safe, because if the directory will
not be deleted unless it is empty.
2. Delete from spec:
"%postun
if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
    /usr/sbin/userdel  gmediaserver &>/dev/null || :
    /usr/sbin/groupdel gmediaserver &>/dev/null || :
fi".
It can be good idea, but I think the packages which does not remove users make a
mess. If the all servers do not remove it, after some "testing" instalations
(different packages) in system will be a lot of needless users. On the other
hand there is not a problem with owner of log-file (in gmediaserver) and it is
very safe for the media files.
3. The static uid/gid solve all problems, but I really do not know if the make
static uid/gid is good idea if there are another solution.

I made the spec more clearly, but I make next release when I will know what I
should do with the gmediaserver-package-user.
