Package: adduser
Version: 3.113+nmu3
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/man/man8/adduser.8.gz
When one sees
NAME
adduser, addgroup - add a user or group to the system
One thinks this command certainly cannot do (this from further down the
man page):
Add an existing user to an existing group
If called with two non-option arguments, adduser will add an existing
user to an existing group.
And will skip this command, eventually ending up using gpasswd -a.
Therefore please say
NAME
adduser, addgroup - add or manipulate user or groups
or something better. That way one could pick it out from apropos(1).
