Packages like gdm do:
-- *SNIP* /var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.postinst *SNIP* --
# creating gdm user if he isn't already there
if ! getent passwd gdm >/dev/null; then
echo Adding system user: gdm.
adduser --system

db_stop
after your debconf section.

before I call adduser.
If I call it adduser before confmodule
