Let groupadd have the option to create /home/group/<groupname> sgid directories.

Sgid group directories are the means for users to easily collaborate on local files with the user private group scheme used in debian/ubuntu.

Graphical tools can then adopt to this addgroup option.

Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow." (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2)
