Bug#739109: lintian: false positive maintainer-script-should-not-use-adduser-system-without-home in sendmail-base

[Andreas Beckmann <anbe@debian.org>]

Package: lintian
Version: 2.5.21
Severity: normal

Running lintian on sendmail-base_8.14.4-4.1_all.deb reports

E: sendmail-base: maintainer-script-should-not-use-adduser-system-without-home postinst:64
E: sendmail-base: maintainer-script-should-not-use-adduser-system-without-home postinst:74

but the postinst script contains these calls:

            adduser --system --ingroup smmta --home "/var/lib/sendmail" \
                --disabled-password \
                --quiet --gecos 'Mail Transfer Agent' smmta;

                        adduser --system --ingroup smmsp --home "/var/lib/sendmail" \
                                --disabled-password \
                                --quiet --gecos 'Mail Submission Program' smmsp;
