Package: lintian
Version: 2.116.3

If my postinst contains:

adduser --system --home=/var/lib/myuser myuser

Then lintian complains:

E: lintian-adduser-bug: maintainer-script-lacks-home-in-adduser "adduser
--system --home=/var/lib/myuser myuser" [postinst:2]

As a workaround, I can wrap adduser or --system in quotes, or remove the
equals sign between --home and the directory. Then lintian does not
complain, even though those variations have the same meaning.
