System users are shipped in /usr/etc/passwd instead of /lib/passwd

Affected images versions

• NA

Unaffected images versions

• NA

Steps to reproduce

$ ls /lib/passwd
ls: cannot access /lib/passwd: No such file or directory
$ grep root /usr/etc/passwd
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/ash

Expected result

Users with UID>=1000 should not be

The ostree-convert-from-debian is supposed to split UID<1000 users into /lib/passwd and everything else into /usr/etc/passwd, but the call to split_passwd_files () is commented out.

Actual result

/lib/passwd does not exist and /usr/etc/passwd ships the UID<1000 users.

Impact of bug

It's something that has the potential to cause issues but which in practice we do not hit them at the moment.
