The major problem with changes like this is that adding something to
adduser means adding something to debian-installer. I know they are
unhappy about adding new debconf questions, even low priority, during
the install. Since there are better ways to do this (you can ship hooks
in a custom d-i image, I believe), I am inclined not to do this.
Take care,
