set up a /home/group/users directory

[ceg]

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.

The following example might be further enhanced:

root:group (rwxrwsr-t) /home/share/<group>
root:group (rwsrwsrwt) /home/share/<group>/incoming
root:group (rwxrwx---) /home/share/<group>/private

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
