In his hint "Package users" Matthias Benkmann recommends to name the primary group of a package user after the user name. But why duplicate information instead of extending it?! Couldn't we name the primary group after the package (just as he suggests) but name the package user after the package *and* the package version? This would make it very easy to find which version or versions of a package are installed (provided that when removing version V of package P *all* files belonging to the respective user are removed). Does anyone see any flaws of this idea?
