[Adduser-devel] Bug#398802: Preseeding adduser/homedir-permission doesn't appear to work

[Olaf van der Spek]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.99
Severity: normal

Hi,

I've put "adduser	adduser/homedir-permission	boolean	false" in preseed.cfg, but /etc/adduser.conf contains "DIR_MODE=0755".
The preseed entry appears to be ignored.
