A single call of

Thanks -- I suspect the actual reason may be lost in time. What is the
exact patch you are thinking of, is it the one below? I'm happy to
apply it and see of Salsa is happy and then upload and see if we get any
reports.
Actually, just doing
adduser --system --group --home=/var/lib/jabberd2 --no-create-home jabber
in postinst without any scaffolding SHOULD give you what you want. If it
doesn't, it's a bug in adduser which I would ask you to report.
If you apply this for trixie, you might need a versioned dependency on
adduser >= 3.145 or test with bookworm's adduser as well (it might be
non-silent on the console but should yield the same results).
Greetings
Marc
