no it does not say that - it says the "group" of packages meaning not the
user group.

I think what they mean is create a patch (that modifies) the config files,
but I also do not understand completely what is meant.

However almost all debian programs support config.d style which can be used
to customize the configuration without touching the main configuration
file. IMO this is the preferred way
