I've investigated a little more how we are getting the minimum UID for
normal users, and it seems that /etc/login.defs settings are used if
present, rather than those from /etc/adduser.conf. Could you try editing
that file too? Though, I don't know why those two files are present,

OK, so moving the task to GDM, where the only problem left is. Updating
description accordingly.
** Package changed: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) = gdm (Ubuntu)
** Summary changed:
- [users-admin] show UID below 1000
+ Show users with UID 1000 according to /etc/login.defs definition of minimum
Are you aware of /etc/adduser.conf options FIRST_UID, and friends? See
that file for the full description of their meaning. I think setting
FIRST_UID=500 instead of 1000 could solve your request properly.

the users and groups application. I only see root, and I need to
change show_all_user to yes in
