adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --disabled-password --shell /bin/sh $MYUSERNAME Do you need a group called $MYUSERNAME? Otherwise replace --group with --ingroup dialout and skip the addition to group dialup. Do you need a shell? otherwise drop --shell and you'll get /bin/false. With --no-create-home --home is optional, but if you don't need the home for anything ... So adduser --quiet --system --ingroup dialout --no-create-home --disabled-password $MYUSERNAME may be sufficient. You should consider adding clenaup code that only triggers on upgrades from that faulty version by removing the old user+group+home and recreating the user properly Andreas PS: how other packages use useradd: grep -C2 useradd /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.p* -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
