In NO CASE should program functionality depend on some package
management system.  The program should be able to work as well without
or with random package management system.

Considering that debian userid management is something that is very
fragile, I would prefer that the script also checks possible problems
with configuration.  Even more important this is when it is about
logcheck, whose sole purpose is to detect unintended events in systems.
