commit ec1f8593d8f0e9ce8b44108e6669214bdde072c2
exchanges GROUP=1000 with GROUP=users in /etc/default/useradd, which makes
useradd not complain for ppl wher the gid of users != 1000.

Though, that doesn't mean that this default group is _used_. I've found a
report about the bug behind the confusuion with per-user groups being the
default:

(this is google cache as the main shadow site is still dead)

We have to do something about this. Sadly, it is not sure what to do.
We got some nice distro-dependent inconsistencies here along with a simply
broken upstream here.
