Bug Description
snapd needs the ability to call 'groupdel --extrausers foo' to clean up after itself, but --extrausers is currently unsupported.
[Impact]
On ubuntu-core systems we want to be able to manage "extrausers" in the same
way as regular users. This requires updates to the various {user,group}
This is an important feature for Ubuntu Core
[Test Case]
0. upgrade the "passwd" to the version in {xenial,
1. install the libnss-extrausers and add "extrauers" to the passwd and shadow line (see /usr/share/
2. run "groupadd --extrausers foo" and verify "grep foo /var/lib/
3 check /var/lib/
4. run "groupdel --extrausers foo"
5. check /var/lib/
[Regression Potential]
* low: this adds a new (optional) option which is off by default
