Debian: add service and post installation script to create user and group

I need the actual remote address to add fail2ban rules for it, but i
also to not want everyone to be able to fake X-Forward-For HTTP headers.
Which can contain multiple ip addresses, by the way, so i have to get
only the first one, as the others will be the proxies that the request
has been (re)forwarded to.
