Work is being done on dh_installsystemduser
Some bits have already landed in init-system-helpers [1] and there is an
open MR for debhelper [2].
Once that MR lands in debhelper, picking a package like gpg-agent and
converting it to the new helper might be a good idea to give it some
real world testing and shake out any bugs.

CCed Daniele, as he's been the one driving this effort.
