adduser is a perl script which calls useradd. adduser knows about debian policy for creating users (such as what the different numeric id ranges are supposed to be, such as the way we give every user a personal gid, such as intializing the home directory based on /etc/skel, ...) and is generally more convenient to use in debian environments than the raw useradd. I don't think LSB needs to worry about this. -- Raul
