Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm-guest-session

I noticed that the guest-session user gets assigned UID/GID values that
are usually used by daemons (above 100) and because the user entry gets
removed after the session closes any leftover files (eg. in /tmp) would
just confuse the administrator. When the next daemon is installed it
would seem like the leftover files are from him.

Therefore I suggest that the guest-session account always gets the same
and high UID/GID (something like the "nobody" user). Eg.: UID=65534,
GID=65534.
