Public bug reported:
Let groupadd have the option to create /home/group/<groupname> sgid directories. Sgid group directories are the means for users to easily collaborate on local files with the user private group scheme used in debian/ubuntu. Graphical tools can then adopt to this addgroup option. Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow."
