Pardon me if I'm butting in and seem impertinent but I was wondering 
whether Devuan was encountering any similar problems and I found this 
thread on their forum https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7600 - 
where the opensysusers' systemd-sysusers utility was ignoring local 
configuration ranges for UIDs and GIDs and instead using compiled in 
values. It seems to me that the failure to create the group referred to 
in the Debian bug report could have arisen because of a clash with 
between what it wanted to do and previously allocated values. Now it 
seems that Devuan could or is switching away from that package to a more 
POSIX-ish shell script using adduser/addgroup. Perhaps the Hurd might 
look to do the same?
