I don't think you should close the bugs that quickly. This is a lack
of respect to those who take the time to report them.
However I don't see a point in playing ping-pong here, thus I leave it done.

I don't have any such user on passwd file on any of my servers. The
only one service installed that does the same thing is spamass-milter
and spfmilter (bug #554266). This will probably need some discussion
on debian-devel too, hopefully not in a distant future.

Thanks
