Title:
  chfn needs to learn about the --extrausers argument and use libnss-
  extrausers files when set

Status in Snappy:
  Fix Released
Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in shadow source package in Xenial:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  as seen in bug 1492327, adduser now works for creating users in the
  extrausers db but when it tries to update the GECOS field at the end
  of adding a user (interactively and noninteractively) chfn falls over
  ...

  chfn needs similar patches to the other shadow binaries that recently
  got extrausers support.
