Ah!
Okay... is this because there's no sanctioned way to do it from an ebuild?
Seems to me that /etc/passwd could get huge if we did this for any package
that wants its own userid(s).
I'm thinking that I should just call useradd... anyone have wisdom to the
contrary to offer?
On a bit of a tangent, I'm wondering if a qmail or maybe a maildir USE
variable wouldn't be justified as it can have a big impact on other
packages. Mailmail is going to require some tweaking for sure.

Qmail doesn't create its users dynamically, they're always present in
/etc/passwd even if qmail is not installed.
