At least for us, who have a lot of recipes that create users/groups, a fix 
for https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11124 is needed.

Currently, if anything happens to invalidates base-passwd without also 
invalidating everything else, we end up in a situation where every other 
recipe fails and the only (simple) solution is to remove tmp and start 
over. Which at least to me is not very nice to the user...

I got some tips from RP and I hope I can work on this and find a solution 
in time for 2.3.
