Adding Daemon User

Well, I am trying to write *real* initscripts for some servers I run, and I ran into the block that I really can't add users without encountering problems. My friend who runs Debian tells me that either adduser or useradd has an option to automatically assign a system uid, and that uid's 0-500 are reserved for packages, 500-1000 are for your custom daemons, and 1000+ are for real users. Is this true? How would one automatically assian a uid for a daemon?
