Of course, we can pass --force-badname, but if we consider dots as
acceptable, adduser should accept them by default.
About chown, there's absolutely no need to change the tool, as long as
people that add dots to their usernames and use chown from the
commandline know what they are doing. Anyway, if they don't, they'll get
an error message, and they'll understand the issue - newbies don't use
chown.
