I think you can safely drop group "powerdev" from d-i (well, the user-setup module). This group isn't really used anymore nowadays.

This is now all handled dynamically via polkit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
