useradd can probably do everything you want. Note "useradd" not "adduser".

"When invoked with the -D option, useradd will either display the current
default values, or update the default values from the command line."

I think those are new options. You've been able to change stuff via
/etc/default for a while. Also useradd can use multiple /etc/skel setups.
