A quick grep suggests that we have quite a number of violations of
that convention, some of them dating back more than 5 years:

I can't help thinking we could probably manage an adequate set of
regression tests that involves a somewhat fewer CREATE USER/ROLE/GROUP
commands than the above list. Surely some roles could be used by more
than one test, and dropped at the end?
