glibc supports `[SUCCESS=merge]` since version 2.24.
From nsswitch.conf(5):
[SUCCESS=merge] is used between two database entries. When a group is
located in the first of the two group entries, processing will
continue on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next
entry (and the group name and GID are an exact match), the member
list of the second entry will be added to the group object to be
returned.
The `merge` action is used by services like `nss-systemd` to attach
extra entries to those returned by the standard services. From
nss-systemd(8):
```
group: files [SUCCESS=merge] systemd
```
Such actions are best seen as "prefixes" of the non-standard services
that add extra entries rather than as "suffixes" of the standard
services that provide the base entries. Thus the .nss file of the
non-stardard services should have a way to specify that this action
should be placed before the service that is being installed.
