No, NAME_REGEX is or not commented out doesn't mean adduser didn't have
a default NAME_REGEX setting, in fact when NAME_REGEX is uncommented it
should overwrite adduser's default setting and let the magic work.

Title:
  Can not adduser with just number

Status in “adduser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Was trying to add a user via adduser with just the username of 1600 and the following is displayed:
  adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
  via the NAME_REGEX[_SYSTEM] configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
  option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
  I checked the options fore the NAME_REGEX in /etc/adduser.conf and it is commented out and shouldn't be affecting the adduser command.
