I would rather suggest making this a port/package, something like a
`defaultuser' package.  Of course, we should learn from some L-system
distributions, and work hard to avoid that people will actually be
able to install this user setup without customizing it (thus sending
out mail from an account named `default' or such later).

Having said this, it now requires a volunteer...
