When enewuser call in an ebuild changes (this usually applies to groups, homedir or user comment), respective user entry should be changed in this regard, if the user already exists.

Bug #134776 is an example where this would be useful.

no ... you have no way of knowing if the user made the change or the ebuild made the change
