So I'm happy to find somebody knowing what we should do. I've reported bug 545714 [1] in Debian some time ago, because I didn't understand why main groups were not removed. If you can confirm that users should not be members of their main groups, I can stop forcing this as users-admin has always done, which will fix another issue, and make the bug report much more problematic.

Other than that, what are the complaints that still justify keeping this report open?
