Bug in the base-passwd-3.0-1 package. I uploaded a fixed 3.1-1 package a couple of hours ago. > I'm not sure how to reproduce the administrator.root results of the > first install.

Due to a shortcoming in setup, only the files extracted from packages and the file created by setup itself get the Administrators group as primary group. The postinstall scripts don't have the Administrators group as primary group, rather it's the default primary group of the user. There's a chicken-egg problem and there's no solution for this yet. This might explain the "root" group.
