The instructions do this: sed -i 's/1000/999/' etc/useradd
The configuration section (6.8.2) refers to GROUP=1000 in default/useradd
I don't really understand the rationale for this change. What was wrong
with the traditional GROUP=100 for users?"
This is a bit confusing on the surface. Useradd increments the GROUP
value when adding the first user, so we change it to 999 so the first
user has the gid of 1000. The reason why we use 1000 for GROUP is
that the default in the package.
I'll try to clarify, but you may want to look at

"6.48
systemd is not capitalized as proper noun consistent with other program
names used in the text."
Upstream guidance is that systemd should never be capitalized.
