The 2.2.x branch adduser hasn't been taught about login classes yet. You can try pulling the -current version (rev 1.37) but it will bring over some -current-ism checks (ie 12 char usernames) that don't apply to 2.2. I don't know what's going to happen for 2.2.5 since the merge hasn't happened yet. I'll bother wosch and see what's going on.
