Package: adduser
Version: 3.48
Severity: normal

If I run 'adduser foo' and /home/foo already exists, nothing is done
about the directory.  However, if /home/foo exists with inappropriate
permissions, an X login will be impossible.  Please give some kind of
warning/info about the situation from adduser.

(The old directory was for me a leftover from earlier adduser foo and
deluser foo with an adduser bar in between).

This is fixed in one of Jörg's patches that found their way into
adduser up to version 3.70.
