Why rethinkdb user is created as a normal rather than a system user?

After using sddm as my display manager, I found rethinkdb user was shown on login screen.
It's very strange and `sudo passwd -l rethinkdb` didn't solve the problem. Then I found that its uid is 1001, a normal user created by
     `useradd -g rethinkdb -d /var/lib/rethinkdb -s /bin/false rethinkdb &>/dev/null`.

AFAIK a database user should be a system user, namely uid < 1000. I also checked debian rethinkdb package which is official supported. It uses
     `adduser --system --quiet --group --no-create-home rethinkdb`
to create rethinkdb user. So perhaps it should use -r option to create a system user

Please file a ticket, I'll fix it in the next rethinkdb release.
