Use mergemaster for this:
mergemaster -p (this is in /usr/src/UPDATING (CURRENT) for 20040308)
to create required user account 'proxy'.
mergemaster -p (this is in /usr/src/UPDATING (STABLE) for 20020404)
(iirc this was for sendmail)
apart from that, 'man adduser' is your friend :-)
I always found it quite interesting(*) to read all UPDATING-Entries
starting from the last time I updated my systems - apart from
reading (some) mailings to stable- and current-mailinglist - and
to always expect the unexpected whilst using current... :-)

(*) sometimes even enlightening, but due to enhanced stupidity
(I'm over 30 now) this does not always work <sigh>.
