The postinstall script creates a 'fastrpc' system group via systemd-sysusers, falling back to 'addgroup --system', and adds the installing user to it. $SUDO_USER is preferred over $USER because during package installation $USER resolves to root; $SUDO_USER captures the real caller when invoked via 'sudo apt install ./pkg.deb'.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Apologies, I am just noticing this PR now.
Actually debhelper can call sysusers for us, it just wasn't enabled automatically for compat level 13, but we can get it with dh --with installsysusers and that will work with backports.
We should NOT add the user calling apt to this or that group; this is a site/image policy, not something a package should do.
