I can confirm this bug. I just came across this on Ubuntu 20.04. I
prefer the proposal by Laurent Martelli.
Summarizing the discussion, it looks like this bug can be fixed by
simply replacing the line
#NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*\$"
in adduser.conf by
#NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*$"
I'm writing to confirm this is a bug. I just ran into it in Ubuntu
12.04 upon uncommenting NAME_REGEX.
The existing regex requres the user name have a dollar sign in it. The
proposed regex works properly.

Hi,
This one time, at band camp, Georgios M. Zarkadas said:
The default value of variable NAME_REGEX shipped within the package's file
/usr/share/adduser/adduser.conf (which is copied upon installation to
etc/adduser.conf) is incorrect.
