You mean to choose at installtion time that httpd is not using the
user apache but say Donald? What about all the other packages that
make their bits owned by apache then? How would these packages know
what the base package is using for users and groups?
The package need to provide this information, it's not difficult to do,
just put the user in a config file (you have to anyway) so that the
other packages can see it.
Simo.
