Changes from V4:
1. Take into consideration the possibility of whitespaces in /etc/passwd and /etc/group 2. Change bbfatal in perform_usermod and perform_groupmod to bbwarn. Please see detailed reason below.

PackageA pulls in userA.
Now we want userA to map to a fixed user ID without having to worry whether PackageA is installed.
We can now use the following configuration to achieve this requirement.
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += "
usermod, -u 2013 userA; \
"

What happens files that userA might have already created outside the home directory? I know that usermod will fixup the home directory and some mail related files.

Sau!

According to the manual, how the home directory is handled is controlled by the options.

'''
If the -m option is given, the contents of the current home directory will be moved to the new home directory, which is created if it does not already exist.

-m, --move-home
   Move the content of the user's home directory to the new location.
'''

After this configuration, if PacakgeA is installed in our image, the user ID is modified to 2013; otherwise, there's no change in /etc/passwd, i.e., userA will not be added to /etc/passwd silently.

Hope this information will be useful.
