Oops, I was mistakenly reading an old Fedora manpage. On wheezy,
'man 8 adduser' says:
"If a user with the same name already exists in the system uid range [...]
adduser will exit with a warning. This warning can be suppressed by
adding --quiet".
It is unclear to me if --quiet just suppresses the warning, or also the exit.
So, I still fear that is likely to upset the package install scripts. As I keep
saying, I need to test this tomorrow.
