Package: user-setup
Version: 1.28
Severity: normal

There are too many groups for the default user, and some of theme are not
used any more : audio cdrom floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev dialout
are probably not needed.

At least plugdev is no more used, netdev and powerdev are replaced by
consolekit.
