There's also:
c/ do nothing, or
d/ include the complete code snippet provided by symphonia, but
as an ‘out-of-band’ footnote to avoid confusion/blind
copy-pasting/distracting the majority of (GNU) users with
irrelevant variants.
With a/, the user won't know which options to change, or how.
They might not understand our ‘useradd’ syntax, and won't have its
man page installed.
As implied by my reply to Gábor, b/ isn't an option so I've
snipped it.
I strongly prefer option d/.

GNU's not *NIX! :o) (Nor is it POSIX.)
Kind regards,
T G-R
