I had that discussion years ago with Joey and his comments were the cause that I submitted patches to adduser --system to allow it to be used in maintainer scripts with as little wrapping code as possible ... >I earlier blogged about an "addsysuser" tool[0], but Stephen Gran >pointed out to me that it's mostly unnecessary scaffolding. ... which is also the cause why I don't understand why an addsysuser tool were useful. If adduser --system needs any additional code in a maintainer script, I'd consider that a bug in adduser which should be filed and addressed.
