Greets.
What is the right way of making ebuild that produces files 
owned by a user, that might not exist on the destination machine.
There should be groupadd in install(), to create the user on
build machine. I can also put it in pre_install to create the user
on the target machine(I mean tbz2 merge). The problem
is that emerge uses UID and not user name.
So if created user will have different UID, files will get wrong owner.
Should it be fixed?

TIA
