Package: adduser
Version: 3.99
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to have something like /etc/defaultgroups containing e.g.
cdrom, audio, plugdev, floppy, video and a way to call adduser with
--default-groups so newly created users get put in those groups. I think
especially our inexperienced users would heavily benefit from such an option.

ADD_EXTRA_GROUPS
Setting this to something other than 0 (the default) will cause
adduser to add newly created non-system users to the list of
groups defined by EXTRA_GROUPS (below).
EXTRA_GROUPS
This is the list of groups that new non-system users will be
added to. By default, this list is 'dialout cdrom floppy audio
src video lp users'
If this is not what you mean, please feel free to re-open this bug
with explanation what you want.
Greetings
Marc
