[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#332911: passwd: Please use the "useful groups" option of adduser when available

[Christian Perrier]

Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.12-6
Severity: wishlist

Bug #166718 is a request to adduser for a new option called
"--useful-groups" to allow adding users to groups such as "audio", "cdrom",
etc.

passwd should use it when creating the first user, when this option will be
available, if it is some day....
