No. /etc/security/group.conf is the wrong place to set this. If we want users to also be added to the 'users' group by default, this should be done by changing the defaults in /etc/adduser.conf, not by using pam_groups.

But I don't see a compelling reason to use this additional group, since nothing else on the system references it. Since this is a rather systemic change, if you think there is a case to be made for adding users to this group, please present that case to the developer community first via the ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list rather than in a bug report on a particular package.
