I have had this happen before, the PEBKAC. When running mergemaster,
it will prompt you to install new passwd, master.passwd and group
files - if you have added local users you must not say yes to this,
you must either merge the changes in or keep your local one.

It would have been so awesome if our /etc/master.passwd and /etc/group
included an #include directive.

I do agree with this. Or if you could have /etc/passwd.d and /etc/group.d
directories that can contain files that are auto-included.
