Hello,
I just received this bug report and would like to ask for comments on how to
handle this problem. There are enough other packages out there with a similar
setup.
Ciao

Subject: Bug#328053: configure on install problem: cannot add user while
name_regex don't match username "sympa"
I use a non usual name_regex pattern constraint to adduser script. Here
is the pattern I set in /etc/adduser.conf :
NAME_REGEX="([A-Z][a-z]+){2,}"
Of course, "sympa" user name doesn't match this pattern (which require
a Wiki like name).
When I install sympa, it fails adding this user. Here are the messages :
Setting up sympa (4.1.5-2) ...

addgroup: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the name_regex configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure name_regex.

dpkg: error processing sympa (--configure):

Wouldn't it be better that postinst script calls adduser with --force-badname ?
