That's what the "Notes" column was intended for. |

Debian is also using the range above 60000 for allocations that won't |
13 |
fit into the low range. Theoretically, there is some overlap with |
14 |
systemd dynamic users (61184..65519), but IIUC assigning other UIDs in |
15 |
that range isn't a problem, as long as there are enough free IDs left. |

Another question, the above are about 2000 users and 2000 groups. |

Does that imply that we will eventually end up with 4000 packages |
19 |
in acct-{user,group}? |
