I'm kind of 'hijacking' this bug instead of submitting an own. Hope you
don't mind, Jamie. :/
I have the very same problem, i.e. piuparts failing due to the latest
change in adduser:
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ibus-pinyin
So please add ibus-pinyin to the list of packages which probably need
the release team's attention to resolve the adduser/piuparts situation.
I don't know how to identify other affected packages, but there is a
related email list thread:
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/pipermail/piuparts-devel/2023-May/009566.html
(And with that I suppose that #1036307, which was mistakenly submitted
as a new bug, can be closed.)
