+I'm not a coder or packager, so didn't understand most of the code,
+but I enjoy a good puzzle. I think this is the clue in the code:
+
+'users' => [
+		    {
+		      'icon' => 'default',
+		      'realname' => 'Myrddin Wyllt',
+		      'uid' => undef,
+		      'groups' => ['dialout'],
+		      'name' => 'merlin',
+		      'shell' => '/bin/bash',
+		      'gid' => undef
+		    }
+		  ],
+
+Viviane is one of the many names for the Lady of the Lake. Maybe
+not many Mageia packagers have studied Arthurian legend? :-)
