This blows up if you have to uninstall and reinstall a package, caused by blockers or whatever. Files exist that still belong to the user/group, new user/group have different ids. So either make sure the uids and gids stay the same or just leave them be. Usually you have an extra user for security reasons with minimal access rights. There is absolutely no harm in that. I would prefer this to be another eclean function or something like that, which scans passwd, shadow, group, package database and all the files and dirs for owners.
