Are you sure about Debian? Coz while googling, I came across an article which said that the latest kernel doesn't support this.
The kernel has nothing to do with usernames. This is handled by the shell. Where did you read this?
I really don't think that the shell is up to his evil tactics to restrict us from creating usernames with dot(s) in it ;)
Jokes apart... If we use dots in our usernames then how will we execute the command "chown username.groupname filename" ??
