I know that, and I wouldn't do it even if someone asked me. I might stop
packaging it if You (Debian) thought it was a violation to the Debian rules
or whatever, which I had problem believing. Now it turns out I misunderstood
'useradd' and 'adduser'...

Because I never heard of them... I'll fix this in the next release (slink),
or is it serious enough that I have to fix it for hamm?
Since I'm in error here (mistook useradd for adduser) I ask Jim and the
rest of you for forgiveness, I'm not a long time developer, and did not
know better (about this '{user|group}add'.
