Is deepsea.user salt:salt mandatory?

[noelmcloughlin]

Description of Issue/Question

After running make install on Ubuntu, there is no salt:salt user/group pair created.

However stage 2 fails so maybe they are needed?

I can replicate this issue on Ubuntu. There must be some step missing in README.

[noelmcloughlin]

Same issue on archlinux.

                  chown: invalid user: 'salt:salt'
                  Job for salt-api.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
                  See "systemctl status salt-api.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
                  make: *** [Makefile:977: install] Error 1

This is due to SLES/openSUSE creating salt:salt for the salt-master
