This is due to using the POSIX function getgrnam(3) to get the complete group list of sbuild users. The output of "getent group sbuild" will also do the same. Since the sbuild user has the sbuild group as their primary group in the passwd file, this doesn't show up. We could update the check to look at both group and passwd. However, now that sbuild uses schroot for everything, the group membership isn't actually required for anything particularly special (summary stats under /var/lib/sbuild, which are not very useful). We could equally just drop the check and the summary stats. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
