+# DESCRIPTION
+
+RPM has native support for the *sysusers.d*(5) format (introduced by systemd)
+that enables packages to declare users and/or groups to be automatically created
+at installation time. This eliminates the need for the manual creation of such
+accounts in transaction scriptlets.
+
+This works implicitly if a package ships one or more files in this format under

`This` starting of a paragraph seems a bit vague.

I'll note that `this` appears quite a number of times in the text overall - more than a few from the original web page of course 😅
