Bug Description
Binary package hint: autoinstall
If one is installing as part of an installion or upgrading to Ubuntu fro another distro, there will be pre-existing users with uids predetermined.
To find (without any warning) that you have been allocated an arbitrary uid of 1000 is less than convenient. It requires a risky trip into repair mode to rectify! Advanced users should be given the opportunity to allocate a uid to a new user.

This is a possibility for the expert installation option in future.
