Inside the Live system, but you'd better drop snippets into
config/chroot_local-includes/etc/live/config.d/ rather than shipping a
full config.conf.

You normally don't have to worry about it as live-build automatically
adds it to the kernel command line.

This would be a ugly solution, unlikely to work, and anyway would end
up being unmaintainable.
Better drop a live-config boot-time hook into
config/chroot_local-includes/lib/live/config/ to achieve this. Your
custom hook must run after the default 002-user-setup one, so beware
how you call it.
Another implementation technique would be to add a patch to
config/chroot_local-patches/ that would enable EXTRA_GROUPS in the
Live system's /etc/adduser.conf.
OTOH, patches are probably welcome to add easy support for such
supplementary groups to live-build.
Bye,
