Details
Description:
Since Arch is packaging bitlbee with its own user and group, it would be nice if the service files used them. It just saves the user a small edit to the service file so bitlbee isn't needlessly running as root by default. FWIW, bitlbee does print a log message asking why it's being run as root :P Sep 23 16:53:39 mere bitlbee[2396]: Warning: BitlBee is running with root privileges. Why? Sep 23 16:53:39 mere bitlbee[2396]: BitlBee is running with root privileges. Why? |

The service file appears to come from upstream. You should
probably talk to them about this.
The default upstream config (/etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf) leaves the
non-root user commented out, too.
I supposed since it's not upstream dictating what user:group
bitlbee uses, but the packager, that it's something better fielded
at Arch.
Except that the upstream config strongly implies that "bitlbee" is
that user name...
