The man page for adduser points you to /etc/adduser.conf.

  man adduser.conf

But I think what you want is not in the feature set.  So you would
need to use a script to do this automatically.  The adduser man page
also says this:

       If the file /usr/local/sbin/adduser.local exists, it will be
       executed after the user account has been set up in order to do
       any local setup.  The arguments passed to adduser.local are:
       username uid gid home-directory, and the environment variables
       DEBUG and VERBOSE will be set according to the settings in the
       master pro gram.

So setting up adduser.local seems easy enough.  I have no needed to do
this myself however so have not tried it.
