You would have to upgrade the base-passwd package.

However, it is possible that the current base-passwd
does not automagically update /etc/passwd entries (yet).
In such case (if you know what you are doing) you may
create a new user with the following specifications:

login name: list, UID: $LISTID
group name: list, GID: $LISTID
home directory: $LISTHOME
