That's actually just taking care of USERADD_CMD from login.defs:

# If defined, this command is run when adding a user.
# It should rebuild any NIS database etc. to add the
# new created account.
# 
USERADD_CMD             /usr/sbin/useradd.local

So where the hack was previously, but had to be removed.
