That's not correct AFAICT. There still exist devices with group set to 
audio, dialout, cdrom, floppy and video. And not all systems will have 
consolekit!

That may well be a relevant change for Squeeze.

However, user-setup should remain backwards compatible with Lenny. That 
could be implemented in different ways [1], but it does mean we cannot 
just remove the groups.

Thanks for bringing up the issue.
