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

12 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.
16
17 Another question, the above are about 2000 users and 2000 groups.
18 Does that imply that we will eventually end up with 4000 packages
19 in acct-{user,group}?
