In my package reconserver, I have the following:

--disabled-password \
--disabled-login \
--gecos "reConServer daemon" \
"$RECONSERVER_USER" || exit 1
Therefore, I believe the lintian report is a false positive, maybe
because the adduser command is split over multiple lines
Based on a bit of testing yesterday after another similar report, I believe the issue is actually due to the use of a variable for the home directory.
