Please note - I don't run "adduser --system", but some postinst scripts do. Looking at the official interface to manage packages I am not even supposed to know which system user accounts are created. All I see is that some unrelated system services are not started at boot time, if the remote directory service is not running. - I agree that nsswitch.conf is of no help here. The suggestion of this bug report is to ignore remote directory services. Obviously this implies to bypass nsswitch.conf and to read&write /etc/passwd and the others directly, if --system is set.
