Well, if you find the file that has it, it'll be more obvious what it
is. (But using codesearch.debian.net, I don't find any matches for
dba_group_gid in Debian... so it's likely to not be in Debian at all.)

Sorry, id was the wrong command.[1] You want something like:
getent group dba_group_gid;
instead.
If there's no match at all, then that group doesn't exist, and you can
just delete that line completely.
1: id only works for user names, not group names, and I keep forgetting
that.
