Public bug reported:

We're attempting to make the GPIO system on the Raspberry Pi images work
"out of the box" on the new image. By default, GPIO kernel devices are
made available to members of the "dialout" group which the initial user
is added to by default on our server images. However, we've noticed that
this isn't the case on the desktop images.

The regression potential is minimal; the group already exists and we're
simply adding the freshly created user to a new group and not removing
any existing memberships. The group in question ("dialout") is also
rarely used these days except for providing access to serial consoles,
and as mentioned above is already a default membership on the server
images. The change has been tested on the desktop image successfully.

A test build of the updated image will be made under
https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/ubiquity and I'll attach
a debdiff shortly.
