I attempted to capture some of this discussion here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729118
If anyone has more thoughts/ideas please feel free to follow up
here, and I can update the bug, or comment on the bug directly.
In the general case, system users cannot be defined in /var, since we
allow /var to be mounted late.
Defining essential users in /var also has the problem that they are lost
when the same /usr is used to boot a large number of instances with a
disjunct /var each time.
