Have a look at /etc/default/useradd (if it's there ... ) to see what defaults it offers. Also, you might consider using /sbin/adduse instead of useradd -- this is quite a sophisticated script which calls useradd at various points.
According to the man page for useradd on Debian they would rather people used adduser instead.
