Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: adduser
The adduser script is documented to call /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local
if that exists and is executable, "after the user account is set up",
but only when adduser is called without the --system or --group options.
In practice, all three cases of "--system", "--group" and "--system and
--group" would benefit from calling adduser.local .
In particular, if you have any slightly non-standard account management
setup, it is vital to know when a package manager has created a new
system user or new group.
It would of course not be appropriate to cause adduser.local to suddenly
change behaviour; people may be relying on it not being called for
"system" users or groups.
However, if each of the three other cases were to call
/usr/local/sbin/addgroup.local
/usr/local/sbin/addsysuser.local
/usr/local/sbin/addsysgroup.local
as appropriate, that would be wonderful.
