To my knowledge, people use `systemd-tmpfiles` for creating/chown file system items not shipped in the `.deb`.
And how about systemd-sysusers?
This limitation of not being able to "act between" parts of the debhelper provided maintscripts has existed since the invention of debhelper and the design of debhelper is not built around giving the maintainer flexibility. I do not see myself fixing that.
I understand, but that kind of makes it significantly harder to use systemd-sysusers. As the adduser maintainers, I see that with a laughing and a crying eye, but things are going towards declarative.
As maintainer scripts try to be idempotent, people might get around to using #DEBHELPER# twice?
But I trust your judgement, and since I seem to be the only person seeing a probable issue in that, I'm probably wrong.
