Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeadmin

New homedirs get drwx------ permissions.

(Instead of honoring the default drwxr-xr-x adduser setting. It is not using the adduser mechanism as stated by debian policy.)

Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow." (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2)

Well, KUser needs to support multiple backends, so that a special one for Debian can be implemented.
Therefore a request should be filed at the KDE bug tracker http://bugs.kde.org

Due to policy violation this bug got high importance... I suppose.
