[Bug 1873519] [NEW] Package should own adduser.conf

[Chris Carlin]

Public bug reported:

Right now /etc/adduser.conf is generated by a postinst script, which
means the file doesn't end up getting listed as owned by adduser.

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

Maybe this is an easy request, to add /etc/adduser.conf as an owned file
instead of a generated one? It seems odd that it isn't owned already.
