For what it's worth, I do not recall having problems with my jessie pbuilder chroot (i386) and manually debootstrapped chroots (for amd64 and armel) that I used for the recent backport of R 3.1.3 to jessie. I think if I would have had to manually add the "staff" group I would remember... I suspect it is not really gone yet. I did not find anything in the draft release notes either, just some transition plan in #29007. Alexander, could we be educated further? Even if /usr/local were not to be owned by root:staff any more, does this mean the group will be gone in jessie?
