> +## Declarations
+*%{\_sysusersdir}*_/\*.conf_++
+*%{add_sysuser *_LINE_*}*
+
+Note: _LINE_ denotes the sysusers.d line fields passed as separate arguments
+
+## Provides
+*user(*_UNAME_*)* = _BASE64_++
+*group(*_GNAME_*)* = [_BASE64_]++
+*groupmember(*_UNAME_*/*_GNAME_*)*
+
+Note: _BASE64_ denotes the corresponding sysusers.d line encoded with base64
+
+## Requires
+*user(*_UNAME_*)*++
+*group(*_GNAME_*)*

The above details aside, I'm a bit torn on having the dependencies like this in the synopsis. In "normal operation", there's no point where the user is expected to enter any of these requires or provides into a spec. I'd maybe move these into the dependencies section instead.
