That's odd - a name like this is not default I think, so either you passed it to configure script options, or in-place config mode deduced it from packaging remnants?..
Either way, better than running as root or nobody, so useradd (maybe also groupadd) are your friends here :) Ideally, NUT drivers, upsd and upsmon can all run safely as different users (upsd and drivers must share a run-time group for socket/pipe files), but few people bother that far.
