Okay, lots of status changes:
* the root cause of this bug is a delta in shadow, that has already been 
dropped in Plucky
* this delta was candidate for shadow SRU to Noble/Oracular, but:
  * dropping the delta kinda breaks functionality (zsys integration) in 
existing releases
  * even with the delta, the user gets created anyway, so the bug is "just" an 
extra line printed on stderr, so nothing too serious
  * autopkgtest's unshare backend is currently broken in some other ways anyway 
on Noble
  * autopkgtest has more recent versions that include the workaround, making 
them to work on Noble
* with the above information, the safer fix for this would just be to SRU 
autopkgtest instead of shadow to Noble/Oracular

Since Ural will likely take on the autopkgtest SRU, I'm assigning the
autopkgtest tasks to him.
