Bug#398802: Preseeding adduser/homedir-permission doesn't appear to work

The advice is to disable account generation in debian-installer and create the user account after installation. Greetings Marc

Package: adduser Version: 3.99 Severity: normal Hi, I've put adduser adduser/homedir-permission boolean false in preseed.cfg, but /etc/adduser.conf contains DIR_MODE=0755.

The preseed entry appears to be ignored. I don't know the fields for a preseed entry, I'm afraid, so can you tell me what the first one represents? Package? Title? Something else? I'm guessing at package, but I want to be sure. I don't really see how this happened, looking over the maintainer scripts, so can you help debug it?

What can I do? debconf-show adduser is a start. I expect it to just answer * adduser/homedir-permission: true but I'd like to be sure. If it doesn't then there is a wierd bug that I can't spot in the postinst. If it does, then can you rerun the installer, but set -x the adduser scripts and send the resulting output?
