Package: adduser
Version: 3.77
Severity: important

The latest version of adduser (and deluser) says is fails to parse
adduser.conf, one error per uncommented line.  Rolling back to the
previous version fixes it.  Screen shot:

[ david at server1 ] $ sudo adduser crap
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':29.
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':30.
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':34.
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':35.
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':45.
adduser: Couldn't parse `/etc/adduser.conf':62.

<snip>

[ david at server1 ] $ sudo dpkg -i ~/adduser_3.77_all.deb
dpkg - warning: downgrading adduser from 3.78 to 3.77.
(Reading database ... 39676 files and directories currently installed.)

[ david at server1 ] $ sudo deluser crap

done.

[ david at server1 ] $ sudo adduser crap
Adding user `crap'...

I also noticed that some lines in adduser.conf were duplicated
(FIRST_UID, LAST_UID, FIRST_SYSTEM_UID, and LAST_SYSTEM_UID were all on
there twice).  I know I hadn't modified the file, so the defaults may be
screwed up.
