Hello,

what do you mean "it is a pratical joke or a time bomb"?

In the links I've pasted there's also the Fedora "user registry" for
uids/gids, it is at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageUserRegistry

Remember this is a Fedora package and not a package for everyone, so
it follows those guidelines.
I will come back here in the next days if I'm allowed to remove the
fedora-usermgmt requirements in the package.

Regards,
--Simone
