The package used a lot of string-formatting, followed by string-splitting.
This looked to originate from attempts to use templating to allow future
extensibility (9a3ab0358e).
Looking at the history of the package, only a single update was made to
these templates, 5 years go, which makes it unlikely that more templating
will be needed.
This patch simplifies the handling of arguments to use `[]string` instead
of a single `string` (and splitting to a `[]string`). This both simplifies
the code somewhat, and prevents user/group-names containing spaces to be
splitted (causing, e.g. `getent` to fail).
Note that user/group-names containing spaces are invalid (or at least
discouraged), there are situations where such names may be used, so we
should avoid breaking on such names.
Before this change, a user/group name with a space in its name would fail;
dockerd --userns-remap="user:domain users"

With this change:
# Add some possibly problematic usernames for testing
# need to do this manually, as `adduser` / `useradd` won't accept these names

pkg/ is a collection of utility packages used by the Moby project without being specific to its internals.
Utility packages are kept separate from the moby core codebase to keep it as small and concise as possible.
If some utilities grow larger and their APIs stabilize, they may be moved to their own repository under the
Moby organization, to facilitate re-use by other projects. However that is not the priority.
The directory pkg is named after the same directory in the camlistore project. Since Brad is a core
Go maintainer, we thought it made sense to copy his methods for organizing Go code :) Thanks Brad!
Because utility packages are small and neatly separated from the rest of the codebase, they are a good
place to start for aspiring maintainers and contributors. Get in touch if you want to help maintain them!
