You have these directives set in /etc/login.defs. My understanding is that they have been deprecated for some time, but now they create a warning message. This is not a bug in adduser (in fact, I'm not sure it's a bug at all - programs do change the acceptable options in their conf files over time, and it's not a good idea to automatedly overwrite an edited config file on upgrade). Others, I leave it to you whether or not you want to reassign this to login (the package responsible for login.defs) or just close it. I can see arguments both ways.
