I dug a little deeper and found that user and group are created by munin-common package. The postinst script first checks for the presence of user munin on the system:

        if ! getent passwd munin

Looks like the user was already present on my system prior to installation, albeit without a corresponding group (group id pointed to avahi). After deleting user munin manually, munin user and group where setup correctly. Thereafter, the postinst script of munin-node also works correctly.
