The format of both of these files are "user":"start":"count". Meaning that the root user will be allocated "count" IDs starting at the position "start". The reason why LXD does this is because these extra IDs will be used to isolate containers from the host processes and optionally from each other, by using different offsets so that their UID and GIDs will not overlap. Because LXD 5 now has these settings "baked in", these files do not need to be created and exist here just for reference and understanding of default LXD behavior. For more information on subids and subgids, see What are subuids and subgids?.
