As I understand the spec the check is only if the user exists (in
/etc/passwd). This is always valid, because uucp is part of the default
passwd as I saw on a clean sarge -- maybe this changed someone post
sarge.

I would say Debian should add uucp to its alias file. Otherwise the
default installation would fail.
