This might include a patch with reading a debhelper created conf file.

Two versions would be hard to maintain. My idea would be
/etc/groups:
children:x:<GID>:child1,child2,child3
....
/etc/junior/xpenguin.conf
<Option> <Group allowed to have this option>
This requires some work on the source code but would not bloat our archive
with two versions of the same thing.
Just some quick ideas before I leave for weekend.
Kind regards
