So, on my boxen

  useradd booper

adds a user booper in a group booper, see

$ grep booper /etc/passwd
booper:x:1001:1003::/home/users/booper:/bin/bash
$ grep booper /etc/group
booper:x:1003:

Even if my /etc/default/useradd looks like the one shown here with GROUP=1000 
and the group users:1000 exists, so that

  useradd -g 1000 baaper

indeed results in:

$ grep baaper /etc/passwd
baaper:x:1002:1000::/home/users/baaper:/bin/bash
$ grep baaper /etc/group

So I wonder what the upstream default group 1000 is made of ... thin air, as 
it seems to me.
The HOME setting _is_ honored, GROUP not. Can someone confirm this?
I faintly remember seeing version 4.0.18 of shadow and planning to update... 
but now the web/download site of shadow seems to be dead - does someone have 
some hint about that?
I wonder if the now inaccessible new version had some fixes...

So, should we even make the adduser script more explicit to not make it rely 
on useradd honouring defaults?
