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,
