Considering the sorry state of the package due to lack of time maintainer-side, I'd rather see precious time spent on more important things instead of adding support for the comressor-of-the-year. That being said, I would be willing to apply a patch. adduser is in the Debian project on salsa, feel free to commit to a branch.
