I can confirm this bug. I just came across this on Ubuntu 20.04. I
prefer the proposal by Laurent Martelli.
Summarizing the discussion, it looks like this bug can be fixed by
simply replacing the line
#NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*\$"
in adduser.conf by
#NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_]*$"
Be
I would suggest to use the following regexp : "^[a-z][-a-z0-9_.]*$",
since the default behaviour (when NAME_REGEXP is commented out), does
not allow a trailing $.
Bests,
Laurent

This bug will effect all users tried to relax username limitation by

I'm writing to confirm this is a bug. I just ran into it in Ubuntu
12.04 upon uncommenting NAME_REGEX.

proposed regex works properly.
