Hi Rémi, (I hope the é comes through the email properly!)
If I would play devil’s advocate, then I would say this: “An action like this
seems inappropriate to place into a package that does not clearly indicate why
it is needed. Instead, you should create a slurm-common package, and have the
user creation happen there.”
I would be OK with that: I am fine putting together a patch to create a
“slurm-common” package that does the user creation. Some common documentation
could also be moved to that package. But, I did not know if that was
appropriate, so I submitted the simpler change first!

FWIW, we took the same approach in our EDF-specific packages:

It works fine for us so far!
I just don't remember why we didn't propose the patch back into Debian
official packages though :(
Best,
Rémi
