acct-user.eclass makes the username variable read-only:
# The name of the user. This is forced to ${PN} and the
# policy prohibits it from being changed.
ACCT_USER_NAME=${PN}
readonly ACCT_USER_NAME
That enforces the ::gentoo policy, but in an overlay, makes it
impossible to create valid usernames due to package name restrictions.
Case in point: ACCT_USER_NAME=www.example.com
Can we please drop the readonly? I'm rebuilding a pre-GLEP81 server and
would like to manage the users in a more meaningful way than as lines
in /etc/passwd.
(The same issue arises in acct-group.eclass)
