debian/dbus-system-bus-common.postinst makes really really sure that adduser is policy compliant: if [ "$1" = configure ]; then in_sysroot adduser --system \ --quiet \ --home /nonexistent \ --no-create-home \ --disabled-password \ --group "$MESSAGEUSER" fi The explicit --no-create-home turns on the warning. I think that adduser should be quiet in that case, but also dbus should just say "adduser --system "$MESSAGEUSER". Greetings Marc
