Anyway, I don't know how numeric IDs are assigned to users and groups - especially those intended to be used by system daemons like mysql or postgreql. I have postgresql on my box and it does this same kind of thing with user and group creation. Do you know what values I should be using so I don't conflict with other potential packages?

Make sure the user and group IDs don't conflict with those in the UID / GID Database [1]. [1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database
