Dear Maintainer(s),

sysusers.d config files allow a package to use declarative
configuration instead of manually written maintainer scripts. This
also allows image-based systems to be created with /usr/ only, and
also allows for factory resetting a system and recreating /etc/ on
boot.

Please find a patch attached to ship a sysusers.d config for cvs
to create the system group. Thanks!

thanks

No, thanks. adduser is omnipresent and works and does not
introduce an extra dependency on systemd.
