In #17584 we have changed "linuxbrew" user's UID/GID to 1001 in order to mitigate for Ubuntu 23.04 and higher, which started creating a default "ubuntu" user taking over UID/GID 1000 .

While we may desire a deterministic UID in the homebrew docker image, the change effectively modified the behaviour for all current 3 images based on Ubuntu 18.04 20.04 and 22.04 by changing the linuxbrew's user UID/GID from 1000 to 1001. As per https://hub.docker.com/u/homebrew, we do not currently publish an image for 24.04 which the change is mitigating for.

Rather than mitigating for indeterministic behaviour of upstream changes, this commit implements the workaround in https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/2005129 to delete the default "ubuntu" user.

  • Have you followed the guidelines in our Contributing document?
  • Have you checked to ensure there aren't other open Pull Requests for the same change?
  • Have you added an explanation of what your changes do and why you'd like us to include them?
  • Have you written new tests for your changes? Here's an example.
  • Have you successfully run brew style with your changes locally?
  • Have you successfully run brew typecheck with your changes locally?
  • Have you successfully run brew tests with your changes locally?

For background, changing the UID breaks downstream clients assuming the linuxbrew user has UID/GID 1000. Going from docker image 4.3.8 to 4.3.9 blocks everything due to EACCESS permission denied errors, thus a breaking change.
