Create sambashare group and add the initial user to it (thanks, Mantas
Kriaučiūnas; LP: #238224).

Make is_system_user always return false if OVERRIDE_SYSTEM_USER is set
(LP: #153310).

Add the initial user to the fuse group.

* Remove scanner group from the system.
* Add back plugdev. It's needed to make mounting easier for shell users.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Set Vcs-Bzr for Ubuntu.

[ Evan Dandrea ]
* We no longer use the plugdev, netdev, powerdev, and scanner groups.

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Adjust /etc/aliases to send root mail to the initial user.
  - Add the initial user to the adm, dip, lpadmin, and scanner groups too,
    and to the admin group if no root password is set.
  - Allow the admin group to gain root privileges using sudo.
  - Default passwd/root-login to false.
  - Don't reserve the 'hal' username in Ubuntu; we call it haldaemon.
  - Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell.
* Ignore failures from newaliases, which might be due to the user having
  declined to configure postfix (LP: #158952).

26. By Colin Watson on 2007-10-05

Only call archdetect if we have it, in order not to break use of the
.deb outside ubiquity.

25. By Colin Watson on 2007-09-28

Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell (LP: #145460).

24. By Colin Watson on 2007-09-17

Don't reserve the 'hal' username in Ubuntu; we call it haldaemon
(LP: #110000).
