@trixpan I guess what I'm saying is that with this change I think -Prpm
makes a good rpm but not a good .tar.gz or .zip since the user will now need to
edit bootstrap.conf if they're using the archive package; install.sh doesn't
create the nifi user, right? I think somehow or other it needs to use the
defaultUsername that the maven-rpm-plugin is using but I'm not sure how without
digging further.
