Comment:
@the-maldridge I don't believe these changes are any less robust for systems using remote directories than the current state. It is using the proper tools anyway.

Even so, there is the argument that these shouldn't be supported, given that these are system accounts and should be available in all situations.

We have discussed the possibility of bringing the `system_{account,group}` functionality into XBPS itself, but I believe it would also break in the alternate root case with remote directory, due to the host system's setup not being necessarily the same as the target system. More importantly, someone using `xbps.static` on a glibc system would lack the extra functionality implemented by glibc, if I understand things correctly.
