So you mean something like this:

/etc/vdr/groups:

    plugdev: vdr-plugin-mediad
    audio: vdr-plugin-bitstreamout
    plugdev: vdr-plugin-somethingelse

Each plugin requiring vdr to be the member of a specific group, adds the
group name to /var/lib/vdr/groups in postinst.

postrm removes this entry again and if no other entry for this group is
left, removes the user vdr from that group.

But if someone added vdr manually to a specific group (e.g. in order to
run a custom script from within VDR), this group assignment should never
be removed automatically. So the user not just has to add vdr to the
group, but must also add an entry to /etc/vdr/groups.
