I noticed that the same happens when you try to add a user with an
existing uid.  The tool even claims that the new user's home directory
is added. On the other hand, at least the initially proposed uid is not
0.

Why not give a *warning* (not error) message when  a duplicate uid is
given in the tool, and if user confirms, run useradd and groupadd with
the -o option.
