While you are at it, please switch to sysusers (see dh_installsysusers).
While we're at this, I would like to ask the developer commiunity
whether it is true that we have dedided to go away from having
persistent /etc/passwd and /etc/group and that it will soon be
officially forbidden to use adduser in packages?
If that is actually the case, I'd like to see the discussion that I
must have overlooked.
I have not seen a decision on this anywhere.

Where are we going regarding user creation?
Unsure about users, but a general thing I'm seeing is: moving away
from (adhoc) maintainer scripts to declarative configuration.
Now these also often use (automatically generated) maintainer script
fragments, but it seems to be a step towards having no maintainer
scripts one day.
