Package: adduser
Version: 3.85
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
This applies to both stable (version 3.63) and testing (version 3.85).
There are some typos ("an user" --> "a user" etc).
Also, I suggest adding "DIR" to the synopsis ("--backup-to DIR").
I suggest changing "setup" (copied from adduser) to "cleanup".
Finally, I suggest a simpler version of the "warning".
Patch follows
