[Fedora-packaging] packages which add user accounts: is fedora-usermgmt the way?

Hmm.  If all you're trying to achieve is to have a default fixed UID, but 
still allow for some local customization, why not something along the lines of:

| %{name}_UID=${%{name}_UID:-23}
| useradd -u $%{name}_UID

And then the admin who wants to customize package foo can run:
$ foo_UID=1012 rpm -ivh foo-1.0-1.blah.rpm
or
$ foo_UID=1012 yum install foo

(Note that I haven't tested this...)
