The adduser package is 'important', and while it is often installed,
we can't guarantee that it will always be there. A required package,
or a package which is dragged in by a required package, such as
libuuid1, shouldn't depend on an 'important' package since that would
implicitly make it be required, which shouldn't be done unless
absolutely necesary.
So we replace the call to adduser with the lower-level useradd and
groupadd programs. They are part of the passwd package, which is
required to be on all Debian systems.

/var/run can get completely removed at reboot, and uuidd doesn't have
permissions to recreate /var/run/uuidd. So instead use
/var/lib/libuuidd for the unix domain socket and pid files.

Also store the clock sequence information in a state file in
/var/lib/misc/uuid-clock so that if the time goes backwards the clock
sequence counter can get bumped. This allows us to completely
correctly generate time-based (version 1) UUID's according to the
algorithm specified RFC 4122.
