+Tag: wrong-file-owner-uid-or-gid
+Severity: error
+Check: files/ownership
+Explanation: The user or group ID of the owner of the file is invalid. The
+ owner user and group IDs must be in the set of globally allocated
+ IDs, because other IDs are dynamically allocated and might be used
+ for varying purposes on different systems, or are reserved. The set
+ of the allowed, globally allocated IDs consists of the ranges 0-99,
+ 64000-64999 and 65534.
+ .
+ It's possible for a Policy-compliant package to trigger this tag if the
+ user is created in the preinst maintainer script, but this is a very rare
+ case and doesn't appear to be necessary.
