  Replace the postinst script with this:

  #!/bin/sh

  set -e

  if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
      if ! getent group nova > /dev/null 2>&1; then
          addgroup --system nova >/dev/null
      fi

      if ! getent passwd nova > /dev/null 2>&1; then
          adduser --system --home /var/lib/nova --ingroup nova --no-create-home --shell /bin/false nova
      fi
  fi
