Package: adduser
Version: 3.63
Severity: minor
Hi,
The man page of adduser/addgroup says
*
Add a user group
If adduser is called with the --group option and without the
--system option, or addgroup is called respectively, a user
group will be added.
A GID will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS
in the configuration file. The GID can be overridden with
the --gid option.
The group is created with no users.
Add a system group
If addgroup is called with the --system option, a
system group will be added.
A GID will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS in the
configuration file. The GID can be overridden with
the --gid option.
The group is created with no users.

This does not look quite right. I think that in
"Add a system group
If addgroup is called with the --system option, a system group will be
added. A GID will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS in the
configuration file."
the "user UIDs" should read "system UIDs".
Also, why not add a reference to the man page pointing to Debian Policy
9.2.2 for further information?
Faheem.
