Package: adduser

Severity: normal

Hi Maintainers,
While testing the welcoming DIRMODE change in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1014901
I've found that the new users home directory and files copied from
*/etc/skel* are now owned by the users secondary group *(users)*
rather than being owned by the users primary group. Also found some
applications in KDE/Plasma are now creating files/directories
owned by the users secondary group *(users)*. Is this expected behavior
going forward?
Attached is the */etc/adduser.conf* replaced by the latest package.
New behaviour
root@Computer:~$ ls -la
total 20

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 19 15:28 ..

# /etc/adduser.conf: `adduser' configuration.
# See adduser(8) and adduser.conf(5) for full documentation.
# A commented out setting indicates that this is the default in the
# code. If you need to change those settings, remove the comment and
# make your intended change.
# The DSHELL variable specifies the default login shell on your
# system.
#DSHELL=/bin/bash
# The DHOME variable specifies the directory containing users' home
# directories.
#DHOME=/home
# If GROUPHOMES is "yes", then the home directories will be created as
# /home/groupname/user.
#GROUPHOMES=no
# If LETTERHOMES is "yes", then the created home directories will have
# an extra directory - the first letter of the user name. For example:
# /home/u/user.
#LETTERHOMES=no
# The SKEL variable specifies the directory containing "skeletal" user
# files; in other words, files such as a sample .profile that will be
# copied to the new user's home directory when it is created.
#SKEL=/etc/skel
# FIRST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID to LAST_SYSTEM_[GU]ID inclusive is the range for UIDs
# for dynamically allocated administrative and system accounts/groups.
# Please note that system software, such as the users allocated by the
# base-passwd package, may assume that UIDs less than 100 are unallocated.
#FIRST_SYSTEM_UID=100
#LAST_SYSTEM_UID=999
#FIRST_SYSTEM_GID=100
#LAST_SYSTEM_GID=999
# FIRST_[GU]ID to LAST_[GU]ID inclusive is the range of UIDs of dynamically
# allocated user accounts/groups.
#FIRST_UID=1000
#LAST_UID=5
#FIRST_GID=1000
#LAST_GID=5
# The USERGROUPS variable can be either "yes" or "no". If "yes" each
# created user will be given their own group to use as a default. If
# "no", each created user get the primary group defined below as
# USERS_GROUP or USERS_GID.
#USERGROUPS=yes
# Newly created users get this group as primary group if USERGROUPS
# "no", and as a supplemental group if USERGROUPS is "yes".
# Set one of the variables to reference the group. Don't set both.
#USERS_GID=100
#USERS_GROUP=users
# If DIR_MODE is set, directories will be created with the specified
# mode. Otherwise the default mode 0700 will be used.
#DIR_MODE=0700
# When creating system accounts: if SYS_DIR_MODE is set (and a home
# location is specified), the directories will be created with the
# specified node. Otherwise the default mode 0755 will be used.
#SYS_DIR_MODE=0755
# If SETGID_HOME is "yes" home directories for users with their own
# group the setgid bit will be set. This was the default for
# versions << 3.13 of adduser. Because it has some bad side effects we
# no longer do this per default. If you want it nevertheless you can
# still set it here. Note: this feature is DEPRECATED and will be
# removed in a future version of adduser; please use the DIR_MODE
#
