Package: adduser
Version: 3.63
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/deluser

When making a backup with deluser, the resulting file is created like
any other file made by root, and with my umask of 022 it is world
readable.

This is bad since then everybody who get hold of it has access to the
old users files if the administrator does not take care to store the
backup in some safe place.
