Hi, 

The man page of adduser/addgroup says

*************************************************************************
  Add a user group
         If adduser is called with the --group option and without the
--system option, or addgroup is called respectively, a user
       group will be added.
       
              A  GID  will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS
in the configuration file.  The GID can be overridden with
       the --gid option.
       
              The group is created with no users.
              
                 Add a system group
                        If addgroup is called with the --system option, a
system group will be added.

       A GID will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS in the
configuration file.  The GID can be  overridden  with
       the --gid option.
       
              The group is created with no users.
              
*************************************************************************

This does not look quite right. I think that in

"Add a system group 

If addgroup is called with the --system option, a system group will be
added. A GID will be chosen from the range specified for user UIDS in the
configuration file."

the "user UIDs" should read "system UIDs".

Also, why not add a reference to the man page pointing to Debian Policy
9.2.2 for further information?

                                                                  Faheem.
