Thanks!
OK, I'm still unsure if the added users in that passwd file will really
always be the same uids gids as on the target. The installation sequence
might still differ.

Doesn't debian have its own mechanism for updating (or creating in the
first place) /etc/passwd? And if yes, how can I make this work? Am I
only missing a shell on the target? In that case I could install dash
and leter remove it again in finetuning.
