Still true as of today:

Rapid check:

ardumont@uffizi:~% id puppet
uid=109(puppet) gid=114(puppet) groups=114(puppet)
ardumont@uffizi:~% id munin
uid=110(munin) gid=115(munin) groups=115(munin)
...
ardumont@prado:~% id postgres
uid=109(postgres) gid=115(postgres) groups=115(postgres),1002(swhdev),114(ssl-cert),1007(swhbackup)

That would be the reason of the match.

The reason of this behavior is Debian uses dynamic UIDs for most of its system users.

The behavior of uffizi:/srv/storage/space/backups/prado wrt user names/uid mappings is also problematic for Postgres log backups on belvedere.
