From the changelog of user-setup, the D-I component that sets the root user password AND creates the first regular user: > * Add first user to two additional groups: netdev and powerdev > Note that this assumes that something creates these groups during > the task installation, as hal does with powerdev. The first user is added It should be time to take advantage of the new "add user to useful groups" feature of adduser (--add_extra_groups). The problem is that these "extra" groups is defined in /etc/adduser.conf so the task of maintaining the list of default extra groups would be delegated to the maintainer of adduser. PS to Marc (Haber): would you be OK to work with us (D-I team) to define a "reasonable" list of "extra" groups? That should be the list of groups which it seems reasonable to pu the first created user in (audio, etc...) PS2 to Marc: it seems that adduser.conf(5) does not document the newly added directive(s) to deal with extra groups.
