Enforcing this will render some packages buggy, namly those that create
their account with adduser --system but delete it without the --system
option. A superficial search on codesearch.debian.net turned up at least
those:

arpalert
beanstalkd
clamsmtp
davfs
dbeacon
debian-edu-fai
dmarcts-report-parser
e2guardian
ejabberd
email-reminder
gitlab-ci-multi-runner
gitolite
gitolite3
ident2
identd
mdns-reflector
milter-greylist
planetfilter
policyd-weight
postfwd
prelude-correlator
prelude-manager
sslh
syncache
tuptime
vdradmin

So we'd need to do a small mass bug filing on those before we actually
implement this change.

Greetings
Marc
