Yes, sorry. Adduser is primarily designed to be a helper tool for maintainers to make sure that user management related to packages are handled in a policy compliant manner. Making adduser break policy violates its only reason for existence. > > I see your issue, but that would better be solved with a possibility > > to tell the installer to change these variables. > > Some debconf menu for adduser to be run before the first "dynamic > UID/GID" package is installed would be fine. Since all packages > adding UIDs/GIDs should depend upon adduser this could actually work. If you have a large, grown environment, why are you still doing things manually? Get a gold image, package up a custom d-i that does what you want, etc. This stuff isn't that hard, and it's the right way to do it. Adduser is not going to make this change by default.
