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. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/sysusers.d.html Signed-off-by: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM. Do we want to upstream libibverbs1.sysusers by moving it out of the debian directory and ship it by ibverbs?

If this system group is useful outside debian/ubuntu, I can send a separate PR to do so |

I can send a separate PR. But would be nice to have this in, until the next release. |
