Title:
  Merge adduser 3.116 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Please merge adduser 3.116 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

  Sorry, I cannot work on the merge myself. I am filing this for
  reference.

  Explanation of the Ubuntu delta:
    * testsuite/runsuite.sh: Add the testsuite directory to @INC, so it can find
      the tests.
    * extrausers support for adduser (LP: #1323732)
    * Add autopkgtest. (LP: #1246331)
    * Move ecryptfs-utils from recommends, to suggests. (LP: #1188108)
      Adduser has moved from required to minimal set, and thus started to
      pull ecryptfs-utils and cryptsetup into minimal installs, which is an
      undesired effect.
    * Merge from Debian unstable, remaining changes:
      - AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
        letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
        NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
        specified. (Soren Hansen)
      - Add support for encrypting home directories:
        + adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
          for the hard work.
        + doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
        + debian/control: recommend ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
        + deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
    * Dropped changes, included in Debian:
      - Mark adduser Multi-Arch: foreign.
