Thank you. This was reported and discussed on the ‘python-daemon’
issue tracker
<URL:https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=315239&group_id=100328&atid=413098>.

After considering the use cases, I agree that the default should be
‘initgroups=False’.

The release today of ‘python-daemon’ version 2.1.1 will fix this.
