I am afraid that our efforts in making adduser easier to use in

if you want your maintainer script to also work in backports it is
probably better to keep it the way it is.
I don't care about backports for this particular package (backporting
something as central and system'y as dbus seems like a lot of regression
risk for little reward). My concern is that if dbus is installed during
an upgrade from bookworm to trixie, its postinst needs to be guaranteed
to work correctly, even if adduser hasn't necessarily been upgraded to
its trixie version yet.
You totaly have a point here that I wasnt aware of. Thanks for pointing
this out. Adduser will probably have to pass one release cycle for all
those deprecations.
Greetings
Marc
