Package: base-passwd
Followup-For: Bug #1124118

Dear Maintainer,

please do not add the default user to yet another group by default.

This is the list of groups that a newly created user is added to:

```
# adduser newuser

# su - newuser

$ groups
newuser users
```

And everything works, if the system is using systemd/udev.

If someone needs to have their user be a member of the render group, due
to using 3rd party packages not packaged in debian, then they need to
configure their group membership accordinly, instead of pushing this
change onto all users of debian.
