What about the mysql-server.preinst script then?:
[...]
# creating mysql group if he isn't already there
if ! grep -q ^mysql: /etc/group; then
echo Adding system group: mysql.
addgroup mysql
fi
# creating mysql user if he isn't already there
if ! grep -q ^mysql: /etc/passwd; then
echo Adding system user: mysql.
adduser --system --ingroup mysql --home /var/lib/mysql mysql
fi
[...]
(living in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ as all the Debian install scripts do)
Debian is continuously perfecting these install scripts, which is one
of the main superiorities over other distributions.
