From @pnowack
That's a packaging issue. Please report that to your distro. g-r-d installs both a sysusers and a tmpfiles file for the user for the system daemon and its config dirs.
The sysusers and tmpfiles hooks usually run on a reboot, but they also MUST run when installing the respective pkg, in particular: after the decompression of the files (post-installation hooks). This works fine on other distros, like Arch (pacman automatically detects such sysusers- or tmpfiles-file installation and runs the respective hooks for that).
apt or dpkg must also be able to correctly handle this (regardless of the pkg).
