/etc/passwd set the messagebus user's primary group to 1, but there
was no group with that id in /etc/group. The messagebus group had id 4.
The 4 comes from NixOS. I think it's probably a good idea to use the
same user and group ids where possible -- there's no particular reason
to diverge -- so let's fix it in /etc/passwd instead of changing the
id in /etc/group to 1.
And while we're here, for consistency, let's change the user id of
messagebus to 4 as well, so that's consistent with NixOS as well.
I don't think the user ID is used anywhere else.
This fixes the DBus "Permission denied" errors that have been showing
up in vm-net since forever (but never seemed to cause any real harm...).

I love seeing patches come across the mailing list again. :)
(I'm not doing squat with them - literally just reading the subject lines in my email client - but it's still nice. Glad for them!)
