Okay, where can I read about this?

I'm afraid, I don't remember anymore, currently I don't see any reason
for this.  I maintain several packages that provide a separated log
service running under different privileges, since years IIRC, and adding
the log user to group adm has become common practice for me.

(The packages are bcron-run, bincimap-run, socklog-run, twoftpd-run)
