Funnily, "admin" was discussed recently in debian-boot because it is
marked as reserved by D-I and a user was complaining about this (see
bug reports for user-setup).

Colin (Watson) explained why admin is reserved (for Ubuntu
purposes). I suggested we (D-I team) keep that name reserved to avoid
trivial "forks" for Ubuntu....and having us (samba) use it enforces
this, indeed.

So, in short, I'm OK to go with "admin".

Actually, this "admin" thing is maybe something where Ubuntu and
Debian could converge about, no?
