[adduser] populating users group even in a usergroups system?



Hi,

/usr/share/doc/base-passwd/users-and-groups.txt.gz currently suggests
that the 'users' group is only populated on a system without
usergroups. This would make the users group empty when adduser changes
to having usergroups on by default.

I am now wondering whether a new non-system user should end up in the
users group automatically even if it has its own group created, making
adduser's behavior regarding the users group independent of whether
usergroups are used or not.

What do you think?

Greetings
Marc

P.S.. If adduser gets changed, I will file a bug against base-passwd
to have the docs updated as well, of course
