Package: usermetricsservice
Version: 1.3.3-1
Severity: normal
Hi Mike,
usermetricsservice uses addgroup/user in preinst without having a
Pre-Depends: adduser this fails accordingly:
$ mmdebstrap --variant=essential --include=usermetricsservice unstable /dev/null
[..]
Preparing to unpack .../562-usermetricsservice_1.3.3-1_amd64.deb ...
warn: `/etc/adduser.conf' does not exist. Using defaults.

Instead of adding the group and user in preinst, you could probably add
it in postinst. Also consider using useradd and grupadd from passwd
instead which is Priority: required.
Cheers Jochen
