So, I had a fink installation on my 10.1.5 machine.  I updated to 10.2 
using the "backup and fresh install" method.  I just went and installed 
gimp using dselect, and got the following message.

I don't see why gimp or anything related would need these users or 
groups, so I'm chalking this up to a difference between 10.1.5 and 
10.2.  I went ahead and said "no" to the changes, because I don't want 
to mess with my new 10.2 install.

Can anyone advise me on what's going on here?  Should I have said 
"Yes"?  Should I just not be doing installations with fink on 10.2 yet?

I'm on the digest, so please reply-all.  Here's the message:
