This is just an issue for first time installations, right?  AFAICT,
/etc/passwd should not be produced if there is already a /etc/passwd.
Ditto /etc/group.

I guess the best solution is to present the user with several options

1) Create /etc/passwd using local accounts?

2) Create /etc/passwd using domain accounts?

3) Create /etc/passwd using local and domain accounts?

4) Don't create /etc/passwd

Then we have to remember what the user wanted.
