Description Michael Orlitzky gentoo-dev

As noted in bug 217042, users/groups created in pkg_setup are subject to the following problems:

1. group/user is added on the machine building the package, even when emerge is
passed -B/--buildpkgonly.
2. group/user is added simply by using ebuild <ebuild> unpack.
3. group/user is added even if the build fails in src_* functions and is never
installed.

Since djbdns does not require any of its three users (dnscache, dnslog, and tinydns) during src_compile, they should be created in pkg_preinst.
