>From what I can tell, it's adduser sending some output to STDOUT which
is causing this postinst script to fail. It looks like the --quiet
flag isn't being respected, and lines 29-33 of
/usr/share/debconf/confmodule are ineffective, or at least don't seem
to do what their comments say they should.
The following two patches both solve the problem with
/usr/sbin/adduser in two different ways: (a) respect the --quiet
option and don't send anything to STDOUT (as per its description), or
(b) send the notice/warning to STDERR instead. I'm not sure which
method will be preferred by the team responsible for
/usr/sbin/adduser.
