You wouldn't have to, it's perfectly possible to do this unattended. qmail is a special case since we should know exactly what files have which owner. The advantage is simple: if we get all references to non-free removed from main the FSF will distribute Debian as well. Having the qmail uids in the default passwd would clearly be unacceptable for them.
