No, NAME_REGEX is or not commented out doesn't mean adduser didn't have a default NAME_REGEX setting, in fact when NAME_REGEX is uncommented it should overwrite adduser's default setting and let the magic work.

Use the `--force-badname' option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX. I checked the options fore the NAME_REGEX in /etc/adduser.conf and it is commented out and shouldn't be affecting the adduser command.
