Rkhunter warns me that a 'named' user and group have been added

Rkhunter warns me that a 'named' user and group have been added to passwd and group file.
I've googled a bit, but I've found nothing related to this group and user in the wiki page.
Is it correct that this user and group has been added?
What is the package that requires that?
If it is due to a package update, is there a way to set pacman so that to ask confirmation before it adds users and/or groups?

This is generally done by systemd-sysusers.

grep -ri named /usr/lib/sysusers.d/

pacman -Qo on the file if you want to know where it comes from.

And no, there's no way to have it ask.
