adduser thinks that dots in usernames are a bad idea, probably because
much code has historically used the 'chown USER.GROUP' syntax that fails
if usernames contain dots. You may not have run into this but I've seen
such code in Ubuntu fairly recently.
It might be nice for you to be able to override this in ubiquity,
although I do think that a warning is appropriate.
