Only if the build runs under the root user, which is not the case of our
production builds. Additionally, the packages are built in a chroot, so
the user creation is not visible from outside anyway.
To sum up, the current test does not cause any problems I would know of.
I was only asking whether it would not change the spirit of the test-suite.
