Short comment: shadow useradd *always* handles -r like functionality ..
even before introducing by RH this change.
Previous it was accessible by undocumented -O <KEY>=<VALUE>. After make
this documented I decide change this to similar Solaris -K KEY>=<VALUE>.
After introducing -r option by RH it was pushed this to LSB .. still
*without* consultation with Marek Michałkiewicz (previous shadow
maintainer) or me. It was second time when this was accrues. First was
with -M option in useradd. Now we have another case with -l option.

Question: what to do when some persons have short(er than other people)
path for make some thing and their introduces some completely stupid
things a law ?
