Debian is the upstream of both useradd and adduser.
adduser is a wrapper around useradd.
adduser doesn't necessarily exist in other distros.
If it does, it isn't necessarily the equivalent of the Debian one; in
RH-land it's a symlink to useradd.
If it does and is the equivalent of the Debian one, I doubt that it
has the equivalent of the "essential" tagging that Debian gives it.
