Description

The bookworm/reef cephadm package needs updating to accommodate the last change in /usr/share/doc/adduser/NEWS.Debian.gz:

System user home defaults to /nonexistent if --home is not specified.
       Packages that call adduser to create system accounts should explicitly
       specify a location for /home (see Lintian check
       maintainer-script-lacks-home-in-adduser).

i.e. when creating the cephadm user as a system user it needs to explicitly specify the expected home directory of /home/cephadm.

A workaround is to manually create the user+directory before installing ceph.

Kefu Chai has created PR55218 to address this.

Can this now be set to Status: Pending Backport please? I'd like to backport this change to (at least) reef.
