which distro / platform you installing on, its add the adduser and addgroup dont have comment function which either its a sandboxed deployment like an lxc / container or the system packages are rather old 🤷🏻

okay debugged further, bulleyes debian 11 doesnt support the comment flag only gecos from debian 12 this flag is deprecated in favour of comment I dont believe the script currently checks if the user exists before executing so even if you manually create the crowdsec-user.

I will see about either creating a skip so manual creation can bypass, I dont see the need to create a workaround just for bulleye because LTS end of august of this year so you'll need to upgrade to 12 and higher anyways at this point to make sure you still get updates.
