Greetings: Personally, I think we should simply install a default adduser.conf file and remove all of the debconf stuff from the post install script. By installing the file directly, we will cause the adduser package to own the conffile as one would expect. Debsums will work, dpkg -S will work, etc. This would also lead to a resolution of this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adduser/+bug/1873519 I have never used the debconf settings that adduser has, but the ability to use config-package-dev would be fantastic. How impactful would it be to remove the debconf stuff? I'd be happy to whip up a patch to do this, but I don't want to just blow away debconf settings that people rely upon. -- Jason Franklin
