I can confirm this behavior. As the author of the code in question, I
also confirm that this is not the intended behavior. To make things
worse, with USERS_GID set to -1, which prevents the newly created user
from being in the users group in the first place, the files copied from
skel are still owned by :users without the user being in the group
themselves, and even if USERS_GROUP set to a totally different group,
the files still have users set as their group.

This will be fixed in due course. Thanks for spotting this.

Greetings
Marc
