This bug was fixed in the package gnome-system-tools - 2.22.0-0ubuntu10
---------------
gnome-system-tools (2.22.0-0ubuntu10) hardy-proposed; urgency=low
* Created: 86_disable_existing_group_for_new_username.dpatch - disables the
ability to create a new user whose name is owned by a perviously defined
group, which, if allowed to happen, would overwrite the old group. If this
happened to 'admin', for example, would render any system adminstration by
sudoers impossible (LP: #236305).
