+1
Which is why I have packaged those: so that there's no controversy if we
standardize on them. We could even make the decision that adduser
shouldn't be used, and that sysusers.d is the preferred way. Let's see
how it develops.
Again, I really would prefer if I'm not the only person working on the
packaging of these alternative implementations. Please anyone:
contribute the init script, dpkg triggers, add yourself as uploaders, etc.
Cheers,
