I think authtest might also be good as a generic configuration tool as it delivers name, home directory, uid and gid of a given user. (Suppose a configure script takes an option like --with-mail-user=foo@my.domain for installing some data and scripts into a user directory; e.g. a mail robot.) Re-packaging may be an occasion to review the permissions required to run it.

No special permissions are needed for authtest. If it has permissions to connect to the filesystem socket, it's good to go.
