Hi Lucas, the problem is multi faceted.
Whenever possible it has to be a defined number to e.g. avoid permission issues
on migration.
It was requested in [1] to ensure this across Debian/Ubuntu releases and works
fine for that.
But in there you will not only see libvirt-qemu, you will see plenty of
accounts, all of them "system" accounts but not with uid <1000.
All of the accounts you see there are affected by the same issue, and unless
that there is a major overhaul for pre-allocated UIDs to get them in the range
of <1000.
In hindsight one might ask to get all those to be added <99 in the master pwd
file, but TBH that almost never happens as the risk for colissions is probably
too high.
Then in turn this was working in the past and it was working on other Desktop
environments.
See the discussions in bug 1667113 and bug 857651.
Let me try to unify the bugs, ping them and ask the Desktop Team for a
pre an answer if this could at least be resolved towards 20.04.
