Do you have any pointer to how this actually works? So far users/groups
defined in sysusers were created at the end of transaction, which was
pretty useless. Is the change in Fedora about creating the users/groups
after each package is installed or even before? In other words, will the
following still work or will installation complain that the user/groups
do not exist?
%attr(0755, %{qemu_user}, %{qemu_group})
%attr(4750, root, virtlogin)
That should do the right thing

IIUC, RPM should see the sysusers files in the package and take care
to create the user accounts before deploying the files.
With regards,
Daniel
