Hm, adduser-ng is orphaned[1] since 18 Nov 2006 due to the upstream maintainer no longer being active.  This is not a good sign.

But if not adduser-ng, then what?  It doesn't look like adduser will allow me to specify different account skeletons per type of user.

I'm CCing debian-custom too for further input.
