I hope to get away in adduser without that, since I'd
like to keep adduser's dependencies minimal (it's being used in the >>installer).
Maybe I am missing something but the installer runs adduser in the
target system chroot, so how would an extra dependency affect the
installer beyond a possibly increased memory footprint ?
It would pull libunistring into nearly every Debian installation,
including embedded and cloud images. I'd rather not do that. A full perl
would be even nicer and we don't do that as well.
And no, even if someone convinces me to do that, that's not going to
happen before trixie.

P.S.: I don't think I'm qualified to maintain adduser with THAT
dependendy.
