If the package's own user/group will be used for media files that will be left
on the system if the package is removed, it's certainly best not to delete the
user/group at all. If the package is subsequently reinstalled, useradd/groupadd
will fail but it doesn't matter because the user/group will already be there
with the correct uid/gid respectively (just be sure that the useradd/groupadd
commands don't produce spurious error messages or cause the scriptlets to fail
in this situation).
