According to the policy, UIDs and GIDs in the range 1-100 are reserved
to be globally allocated by the base-passwd package. The libuuid1
postinstall script passes in UID_MIN=1 and GID_MIN=1. The useradd and
groupadd commands seems to skip UID's between 1 and 100 anyway, but
it's confusing, so we should pass in UID_MIN=100 and GID_MIN=100 for
clarity and in case useradd and groupadd ever changes their behaviour.
