 pre-seed files in there besides using /etc/skel/.

 So far I'm using /etc/skel. Is there anything wrong with that?

 > Unanswered question 2: if you set the ownership to root.users and then
 chmod g+w that should be ok, right? As the users group will be statically
 set to GID 100 regardless of ISO user creation, and belonging to that
 group is by username in /etc/group, not by UID.

 Sounds good to me. I will test it, next time I build an iso-image.
 Hopefully, I have time to do that today.
