It was recently reported to Ubuntu that adduser doesn't support underscores
in usernames.
This appears to be an accidental regression introduced when refactoring the
code out into AdduserCommon.pm, since the last previous mention of
underscores in the changelog is this:
adduser (3.63) unstable; urgency=low
* allow underscores again. Bug in the regexp. Thanks to Steve
Langasek.

Attached is a patch to restore this behavior.
