I haven't investigated in detail, but the code from useradd.bbclass
says:

# base-passwd-cross provides the default passwd and group files in the
# target sysroot, and shadow -native and -sysroot provide the utilities
# and support files needed to add and modify user and group accounts
DEPENDS_append = " base-passwd shadow-native shadow-sysroot"
RDEPENDS_${USERADDPN}_append = " base-passwd shadow"

And, I guess, if you want to support online package management then it
does make some sense to have the shadow utils there.  But I don't
need/want that in my configuration.
