Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with systemd/udev 222-1ubuntu4 and on the
  last upgrades I have noticed that these packages are trying to create
  users which already exists. On reinstalling them udev shows on setting
  up "addgroup: The group `input' already exists as a system group.
  Exiting." and systemd shows on setting up "addgroup: The group
  `systemd-journal' already exists as a system group. Exiting." and
  "addgroup: The group `systemd-journal-remote' already exists as a
  system group. Exiting.". Maybe it could be checked if a user exists to
  avoid showing a warning.
