Package: lintian Version: 2.122.0 Severity: normal lintian issues an error if an adduser --system call does not contain a --home directory. adduser has been defaulting to --home /nonexistent since bookworm, so this issue is only relevant any more when backporting to bullseye or earlier.
Please consider removing this or demoting it to a warning. In fact, adduser --system _foo is the recommended, minimal way to generate a system user in postinst with adduser. Please don't give other advice in lintian.
