Sorry, that last message lacked necessary context. The
medium was a pre-release netinst nightly image.

I've just performed a basic Debian lenny installation using
the official netinst

0dcc554ddcbfbfb43eb2afd8ae7090b8  debian-500-i386-netinst.iso

My user (again 'jon') is not in powerdev or netdev but is
in plugdev. I did not have networking for the VM so it only
installed "standard". I'm pretty convinced that it must be
the tasksel sub-component of d-i that adds the user to the
powerdev group.

I think it would be nice to re-think how the group stuff is
handled, both in d-i and post, too. E.g. say I install a
fuse app, it would be nice to indicate that my "primary
user" or "users"  should be automatically added to the fuse
group, or powerdev in the case of gnome-power-manager /
dbus or whatever post-install, etc. I will raise something
on -devel regarding this (seems a good time to do so!)
