Bug Description

Binary package hint: user-setup

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiUserManagement

Set up a sgid /home/group/users directory for the "users" group if it doesn't exist, so that users are provided with a way to collaborate on local files.

This will also seed the answer of how smaller groups can collaborate.

For full control:
The directory can contain private/, public/ and incoming/ subdirectories.
The first two further containing readonly/ and writeable/ directories.
