[gentoo-dev] User/groups additions in ebuilds - is this a bug..?

[Stroller]

I emerged mgetty a week or two ago, and whilst configuring it found I 
had to add a new group using `groupadd` in order to get the it running.

I don't remember the details now, but I *think* mgetty defaults to 
(setting incoming files as?) group "modem" (unless changed in the 
config files), yet the supplied voice.conf (included because Gentoo's 
mgetty is patched with the vgetty voice extensions) refers to a "phone" 
group.

Sorry to be hazy on the details, but in any case it case it is 
definitely necessary to add a group to /etc/group to get it running & 
the ebuild does not do so. What is policy on this, please..? Should I 
file a bug report..?

Stroller.
