i did not touch this option, so it must be set to true by default.

Thanks for the explanation, but this is a bit strange.  This is not mentionned 
in User management section of the NixOS manual.  In the appendix B, the 
description of users.mutableUsers option says that if it is set to true,

In my case i had

    users.extraUsers.alexey.extraGroups = [ "wheel" ];

and i had removed the previous alexey account, so there could be no merge 
conflict, and still the newly created alexey account did not have the wheel 
group.

Alexey.
