Hello,
I was going to indicate that I disagree, and consider the man page was
wrong, but it looks like the man page has already been fixed ;-)

If called with one non-option argument and the --system option, adduser
will add a system user. If an user with an uid in the system range (or
if the uid is specified, with that) does already exist, adduser will
exit with a warning.

My only slight criticism is that it isn't highlighted that this
warning doesn't occur if used with --quiet, but it solves the issue I
complained about.
Thanks.
