1. gdm's log.do_install starts with so I assume the useradd stuff is
performed before do_install.

| DEBUG: SITE files ['endian-little', 'bit-32', 'arm-common',
'common-linux', 'common-glibc', 'arm-linux', 'arm-linux-gnueabi',
'common']
| DEBUG: Executing shell function useradd_sysroot
| Running useradd commands...
| DEBUG: Shell function useradd_sysroot finished
| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install

2. I did a cleansstate + rebuild for gdm to ensure that user/groups
are in sysroot - but the same I get host's IDs
