 Yes, I do understand the difference - but the question is what is the
 easiest fix.
 
 Should we check & enforce existance of all needed uid/gids on the host?
 Or tanslate all named references to target integer ones?
 
 If there is no easy fix, we might make it officially desupported and
 fail early.
