Package: adduser
Version: 3.121
Severity: minor

Hi,

with #1008081 addressed, it feels to me that SETGID_HOME has fallen out
of time, since this setting can also be accomplished by setting DIR_MODE
and/or SYS_DIR_MODE.

Should we decide to deprecate SETGID_HOME, we should do the following:

- document SETGID_HOME to be deprecated in adduser.conf. People wanting
  this configuration can manage so by setting DIR_MODE and SYS_DIR_MODE.
  The warning that there were "bad side effects" is historically
  unproven and should be removed.
- stable after next stable: remove SETGID_HOME from docs and default
  configuration file
- stable after stable after next stable: remove code

Greetings
Marc
