What do you do that for (automatically creating a user) ? You say that the
maintainer does not read the BTS, but neither do you read Bug #157245 [0]
too?
I do not see the merit of adding a user without talking with base-passwd
first and applying a patch that will (probably) not be more than a
quick-fix and not a long-time patch. Automatic creation of a user for
named is *not* the way to go.
Obviously IMHO
