A fix for this problem would be to modify the Makefile, which seems to
be not so easy.

These bugs should be examined by someone who is good in perl programming
as adduser is a perl-script and nothing more.

This is IMHO a bug against ftp.debian.org and not against the package

against ftp.debian.org

This bug-report should go upstream, as I fixed the configure procedure
but then found another bug in the compilation process which isn't easy
to fix and better should be done by the upstream maintainer.
