I used the follwing commands and I wasn''t able to verify it (adduser
3.110). Can you elaborate on how you tested the described behaviour?

joerg at odysseus adduser $ id root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) Gruppen=0(root)
joerg at odysseus adduser $ id joerg
uid=1000(joerg) gid=1000(joerg)
Gruppen=1000(joerg),20(dialout),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),60(games),116(vboxusers)


joerg at odysseus adduser $ sudo adduser root games
F?ge Benutzer ?root? der Gruppe ?games? hinzu ...
F?ge Benutzer root zu Gruppe games hinzu
Fertig.
joerg at odysseus adduser $ sudo addgroup --force-badname foo

Fertig.

joerg at odysseus adduser $

I thought the sequence that matters would be:
sudo addgroup foo
sudo adduser root foo
sudo adduser joerg foo
id root

But maybe I misread it.  I think, without having the time to look
carefully at it this minute, that this will be another 0/NULL conflation
in the code that checks whether a uid is non-zero instead of checking
whether it exists.  Since we don''t use that code in the new version,
I think it''s fine, and we should tag this appropriately and close it,
but I''d like confirmation before doing so.
