There's a chicken-and-egg problem with installing users and groups -- users
and groups need to be defined before the files containing the list of users
and groups can be installed on disk.
This wad contains a small fix to break that cycle -- if the files don't
exist at install time, the user and group information is stored on the
image object, and the actions' postinstall methods re-try the install.
This won't help if you install a package that never drags in /etc/passwd
and friends (such as database/mysql-common), but for the most common case
(installing slim_install or redistributable), this will work just fine.
The automatic link of user actions to the package containing these files
will come later.

There are a couple of other small fixes in here, including allowing the
group-list attribute of a user action to be single-valued.
Thanks,
