As far as I know, it is still needed for access to devices like sound
and video input (and possibly also floppy, cdrom for burning, etc).  I
might be mistaken, though.

If it is needed, pam_group need some setting in
/usr/share/pam-configs/ as well to make it possible to enable it in
/etc/pam.d/ too.

Either that or changing the default to match our needs.  I believe our
needs actually match those of any larger installation using Debian,
where adding every user to the groups granting access to local devices
is impossible.

Happy hacking,
