As per the thread "[RFC] Globally creating a user and a group "root"" I've modified the base-passwd packaged to remove user and group which match the pattern ":S-1-1-0:" and ensure that there's a group "root:S-1-5-32-544:0:".
Since this version creates tmp files I'd prefer it to be marked as test until Corinna (and maybe some others?!) say it's OK.
