Package: adduser
Version: 1.94

If you add a user test, then add another user tes, test's entry in the
passwd file is changed to tes's.
Like this

tes:kL1MGSLh6WXdQ:106:100::/home/tes:/bin/bash
tes:kL1MGSLh6WXdQ:106:100::/home/tes:/bin/bash

I assume this occurs due to adduser doing something like a grep for
tes on the passwd file and changes the entries that match.
