I think debian likes to maintain consistancy between uid:gid,
that is, if there is a uid 50 there should be a corrisponding
gid 50 with the same name.

there are many files owned by group bin ..

that's my guess, I think its a good idea to have a user:group
setup like this, makes things(for me) easier to manage.
