Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Hi,

adduser has changed quite a bit during the bookworm cycle. We have
deprecated a few command line and configuration options and have renamed
others to be less confusing and a bit more consistent to themselves.
There have also been behavioral changes regarding the
--disabled-password and --disabled-login options of adduser that might
affect package maintainer scripts. User might also be affected by
changes in the handling of primary and supplementary groups and the
permissions set by the home directories of newly created accounts.
Newly created system users also have their home directory set to
/nonexistent unless the --home option is given as well.

Whatever incomplete LDAP support that was present in Adduser was
removed.

Users of adduser are advised to check /usr/share/doc/adduser/NEWS.Debian
and /usr/shade/doc/adduser/README.Debian and the manual pages that come
with the package to find out which changes are planned for Debian's
release after bookworm, enabling them to do necessary changes to their
packages and code during the bookworm cycle to get ready for bookworm+1.

As adduser is a very widely installed package, this may warrant
mentioning in the release notes.

Greetings
Marc
