Thanks for the reply 1. Group management and groups membership That's a bug, a new added user should be part of the standard needed groups, we need to build a list of those (using what the old tools was doing would be a start) and change the standard and admin profiles to match what is needed

Also, the example of using groups to control device access is pretty much obsolete now, as this is mostly done using ACL's with udev- acl/consolekit, rather than using unix groups - I don't even think the fax group is used anymore (there is no udev rule which sets device nodes to that group name)

ok, the issues are mostly in accountsservice, one fix to the default shell issue would be to switch adduser instead of useradd (the useradd manpage itself recommends to use adduser on Debian). Alessio, I noticed that you are subscribed to launchpad bugs, is that something you want to do in Debian?
