I think the problem lies here:

adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/zookeeper' does not belong to the user you are currently creating.

But in the packaging:

debian/zookeeper.dirs:/var/lib/zookeeper

Since the package "owns" the dir, it will be owned by root, which is wrong.

So the fix is to remove that line from zookeeper.dirs. I don't believe this will have any ill effects, since the adduser will create it.

I am testing that change right now.
