Assuming we don't want people to have to change usernames on SSO/LP (sometimes not even possible, if people have packages published in PPAs - from memory?), I don't (yet) see any other option than to use the username with a period from SSO/LP (which is posix compliant [1]).
But can we be sure usernames with dots will be safe on other distros? (hopefully given it's within the standard). Or what other options are there? I'd be happy to provide a fix if there's a decided direction.
