It seems that adduser 3.133 has caused problems for a lot of packages in sid,
including ufw. See:
https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/fail/adduser_3.133.log

In the case of ufw, it ships a logrotate file and logrotate gets installed,
which pulls in adduser, but adduser can't be removed and piuparts fails:

'/srv/piuparts.debian.org/tmp/tmpwv4fmpa7', 'apt-get', 'install', '-y',

As mentioned, there seem to be several packages in this state. ufw has shipped
a logrotate file for years and this isn't new to ufw 0.36.2-1.
[ Reason ]
ufw did not cause adduser to be unremovable, and adduser being unremovable
should not affect ufw's migration.
[ Impact ]
Bug fixes and translations will not be available in bookworm (I am upstream ufw
and I cut 0.36.2 specifically for bookworm users).
[ Tests ]
Build tests (unit and functional) and autopkgtests pass.
[ Risks ]
Leaf package.
[ Checklist ]
[x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
[x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
[x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
