I guess you were refererring to the "adm" group, as there is no "admin" group in a default debian setup. It's correct, that the "adm" group has some special privileges in Debian, like e.g. acess to all log files. If you are worried about this, create your own group, like localadmins, and use that in the PolicyKit conf file.
