Ubuntu, debian and other distro create the nut user/group pair by default in their packages. Add a sysusers.d config file and install it. This configuration file will create the configured user/group pair on first boot/factory reset/package installation, without requiring manual scripts or actions. This is very important for image-based OSes, but it is useful in other cases too, to allow using declarative configuration instead of scripts. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/sysusers.d.html This is especially useful in combination with the existing tmpfiles.d config that is already installed, and makes use of the configured user/group. With the sysusers.d addition, it works out of the box without manual scripting. Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

Oddly, OBS did not pick up from the PR some recipe discrepancies due to the new delivered file. Only complained once this got to master :\ |
