debian/heat-common.postinst uses getenv instead of getent

[kraig]

I'm unable to install heat on my machine which has a heat user and group in ldap. Upon further inspection it looks like the postinst script is using getenv rather than getent to determine if the user and group already exist.

Other openstack projects are using getent: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/trusty/glance/trusty/view/head:/debian/glance-common.postinst

This is a distribution issue, not an upstream issue. Moving the bug to Ubuntu (although you should really report it in Debian).
