/etc/default/useradd only is for useradd and can set a default group,
but no additional default groups.

I was thinking one could extend shadow-utils so that supplementary groups
are read from that file, but the problem is that you don't _really_ want the
group added to every new user, just to actual human users, and figuring that
out (even by something simple like "when UID > n") adds a layer of
complication and fiddlyness that's probably not welcome.


The spin owner had a dirty hack that modified
/usr/share/firstboot/modules/create_user.py, but as the spins wrangler I
told him  this is a no-go.

What about dropping a new module for audio configuration into firstboot?


How would this work? (apologies if I don't know enough about firstboot here). I was thinking of parsing a simple parameter from the config file.
