Once the dust has settled on the implementation, I think we want to look
at whether this is SRUable to vivid for use in core and phone there.

Title:
adduser should support managing additional password/shadow/group files
from libnss-extrausers

Bug description:
with our readonly system-image setup when adding a user or changing a
password using the /etc/{passwd,shadow,group} is not actually possible.
we plan to solve this via using libnss-extrausers and patching the config in
/etc/nsswitch.conf at image build-time. this way we can make
/var/lib/extrausers writable and use passwd,shadow and group from there.
unfortunately adduser is not able to operate on these files in the
non-standard location. to set a user password (for having a properly
working lock screen), add new users or drop the "nopasswordlogin"
group from the phablet user it needs to learn handling these files so
that we do not need to use weird hacks to manage users on system-image
installs.
