Package should own adduser.conf

[Chris Carlin]

/etc/adduser.conf isn't recorded as belonging to the package, but this is addressed easily by adding adduser.conf to the debian/install file.

adduser.conf is generated by a postinst script, so it isn't covered by the normal install stuff. Regardless, it seems to become registered by just adding it to the install file on the same line as deluser.conf, which is already there.

I often customize deployments using the config-package-dev extension to Debhelper, but this relies on package ownership to manage config files.

Hopefully this is a trivial suggestion.

This bug was fixed in the package adduser - 3.129ubuntu1

---------------
adduser (3.129ubuntu1) lunar; urgency=medium

  * Merge from Debian unstable (LP: #1873519, #1977710). Remaining changes:
    - Add support for encrypting home directories:
      + adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
        for the hard work.
      + doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
      + debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
      + deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
    - extrausers support for adduser and gpasswd (LP: #1323732)
    - Add support for ZFS home directories (LP: #1873263)
    - Enable private home directories by default (LP: #48734)
      + Set DIR_MODE=0750 and SYS_DIR_MODE=0750 in the default adduser.conf
   * Rename NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM to SYS_NAME_REGEX
     - AdduserCommon.pm, adduser.conf: Change default SYS_NAME_REGEX to allow
       uppercase letters in the names of system users.
   * Removed changes (superseded by Debian):
    - AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
      letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
      NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
      specified.
