Keep in mind that the name, name-n and name-r user/group ids are just
_DEFAULTS_ and were choosen excactly because of the limited length
restrictions on some platforms. You can force the use of _arbitrary_
names by using --{s,m,r,n}{usr,grp}=<name> on the openpkg-*.src.sh
command line instead of --{user,group}=<name>. Nothing is hard-coded, so
you can achieve your wish above with --susr=opkg-root --sgrp=opkg-root
--musr=opkg --mgrp=opkg ...
