>Description:
I omited the -m option from useradd and it still created the directory if the -d option is specified.

from adduser manpage:
-m      create a new home directory for the new user.
-d home-directory
        is the home directory which will be created and populated for the
        user, should the -m option be specified.

Additional -b is specified twice in the manpage.
>How-To-Repeat:
Notice -m is omited...

useradd -v -d /home/testme testme
Command: /bin/mkdir -p /home/testme
Command: cd /etc/skel; /bin/pax -rw -pe -v . /home/testme
