This is why I have written: "This is a added point"

I have added the "." and now all is working fine for my 57 local
$USER because they can login with "firstname.lastname".

Agreed.

Because I like this feature since years, I must change "adduser"
every time I upgrade my systems, I like to see this new feature
as standard in SARGE.
