I second this, as I feel the need to have some hook to create the home
"directory".
Recently, with ZFS or Btrfs (I imagine for this one, did not check
myself) or remotely-stored (ex.: NFS) homes, it makes sense to have some
local script to create them, not only something to fill them up with
stuff.
I was thinking into uglily patching my own adduser, but it's definitely
worst something more generic, as many people might benefit from it.

PS: sorry for the cross-posting, but I feel the debian-bsd@d.o should be
aware of this topic.
