Using the boot/root/base disks date September 16 that can be found in
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/private/pre-release, I did a totally fresh
install.  I realize these are pre-release, I was doing testing on a spare
machine just to see what was different.

Upon completing the installation process (including the stuff done
automatically on first login as root), I happened to examine the
/etc/group file and found that it seems to be a concatenation of the
template /etc/passwd and /etc/group.

I have not tried this a second time to confirm the problem, will do that
tomorrow morning, 9/17.

The one thing I did that was not "by-the-book" was that I did not create a
user account when first prompted (after logging in as root) because I
prefer to edit /etc/adduser.conf to not create a group for each user
first.  For experienced users, this seems like a not-unreasonable idea.

Cheers,

Mike.

Thank you for the problem report you have sent regarding Debian GNU/Linux.
This is an automatically generated reply, to let you know your message has
been received.  It is being forwarded to the developers' mailing list for
their attention; they will reply in due course.

If you wish to submit further information on your problem, please send
it to debian-bugs@pixar.com, but please ensure that the Subject
line of your message starts with "Bug#1367" or "Re: Bug#1367" so that
we can identify it as relating to the same problem.

Please do not reply to the address at the top of this message,
unless you wish to report a problem with the bug-tracking system.

Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.

This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time.  Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.
