Title:
  usermod cannot accept username beginning with dash

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I accidently executed usermod -l -d username (intended command was
  passwd -l -d username) which renamed username into -d. Now I am trying
  to rename it back, but it thinks that -d is an option. I tried
  following:

  usermod -l username -d
  usermod -l username "-d"
  usermod -l username '-d'
  usermod -l username \-d
  usermod -l username -- -d

  All failed.
