Just a quick information how I solved this issue:
I created an install script which
1) adds the corresponding user temporarely
2) installs the package from the local IPS
3) deletes the user it created earlier
4) "chowns" the files/directories to the final user (user information are now retrieved via LDAP)
5) uninstalls itself
