Not really. It *should* be added to that group.
The package responsible for this in D-I is "user-setup"
(svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/trunk/packages/user-setup)
The first user is created with the "user-setup-apply" script:
if [ -x $ROOT/usr/sbin/adduser ]; then
$log $chroot $ROOT adduser --disabled-password --gecos "$RET"
$UIDOPT "$USER" >/dev/null || true
else
$log $chroot $ROOT useradd -c "$RET" -m "$USER" $UIDOPT
>/dev/null || true
fi
# Clear the user password from the database.
db_set passwd/user-password-crypted ''
db_set passwd/user-password ''
db_set passwd/user-password-again ''
setpassword "$USER" "$USER_PW" "$USER_PW_CRYPTED"
if [ "$HOME_EXISTED" ]; then
# The user's home directory already existed before we called
# adduser. This often means that a mount point under
# /home/$USER was selected in (and thus created by) partman,
# and the home directory may have ended up owned by root.
$log $chroot $ROOT chown "$USER:$USER" "/home/$USER" >/dev/null
|| true
fi
if [ -n "$USER" ]; then
db_get passwd/user-default-groups
for group in $RET; do
$log $chroot $ROOT adduser "$USER" $group >/dev/null
2>&1 || true
done
fi
passwd/user-default-groups is a debcof setting that's preseedable and
for which the default is:
# Allow preseeding the groups to which the first created user is added
Template: passwd/user-default-groups
Type: string
Default: audio cdrom dialout floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev
Description: for internal use only
In short....the first created user *should* be in powerdev. If it is
not....then there's a bug in user-setup (or somewhere else...).
