Ah, I was looking in the wrong place.  Thanks!

I would like something to check that the account is a system account, but
that's the only other thing that occurs to me.  I'm not sure if it would
need a debconf prompt before making the change.  (I'd prefer not, but as
we found with base-passwd, people end up using system accounts for all
sorts of odd things.)
