I reverted that patch, as it would again cause fatal errors to be
ignored. We should put back --quiet, and fix adduser to not hide errors
with --quiet (linked Debian bug).

Title:
  Warning because an already existing user is tried to be created

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in adduser package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 dev with systemd/udev 222-1ubuntu4 and on the
  last upgrades I have noticed that these packages are trying to create
  users which already exists. On reinstalling them udev shows on setting
  up "addgroup: The group `input' already exists as a system group.
  Exiting." and systemd shows on setting up "addgroup: The group
  `systemd-journal' already exists as a system group. Exiting." and
  "addgroup: The group `systemd-journal-remote' already exists as a
  system group. Exiting.". Maybe it could be checked if a user exists to
  avoid showing a warning.
