Package: adduser
Version: 3.121
Severity: important

add_extra_groups is the only multi-word command line option that uses
underscores instead of hyphens to separate the words. We should rectify
this asap.

According to codesearch.debian.net only the fish package contains the
literal add_extra_groups, so we can quickly deprecate the old form after
changing to the new form.

I think we can immediately throw a warning if the old form is used, and
them remove the old form in bookworm+1.

Greetings
Marc
