This is an enhancement request to add RDEPEND="acct-user/sshd" to create the sshd user instead of user.eclass. Standardizing on these account packages allows for easier management (#702624). I'll attach a patch and ebuilds. Reproducible: Always It looks like net-misc/dropbear is another package that creates the sshd user, so it can share this runtime dependency. I can open a separate bug for that if this change is accepted.
Created attachment 599666 [details, diff] GLEP 81 for openssh Drop user.eclass in favor of RDEPEND="acct-user/sshd".
Created attachment 599668 [details] acct-group/sshd Create the sshd group.
Created attachment 599670 [details] acct-user/sshd Create the sshd user and home directory.
Is there anything blocking this?

We will close this bug after older versions of openssh are removed from the tree.
It looks like all openssh ebuilds are using acct-*/sshd dependencies now.
