I used strace and it seems it tries to use the files on the rootfs but they don't exist 
when the check is done so the files on the host are used instead. The base-passwd
package which installs the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files is installed latter in the
rootfs generation process. I'll search for a solution to this problem or for another 
approach.

Thanks,
Mihai
