Is there any reason (different from "nobody implemented it yet" ) for this?
If I am supposed to do it manually, postinstall should clearly tell it,
instead of reporting failure. (Doing it manually is also not that easy as
it is necessary to find all the required information - uids/gids, what
shell, what home directory, which users belong to which groups etc.)
