Hm, I always thought d-i adds the user that is created during
installation to all those groups.
Is that really a (hard-coded) list in adduser instead?

As for your question:
Nowadays with uaccess (dynamic device ACLs) and udisks, none of those
groups should be needed anymore, at least not on a default (desktop)
installation using logind.
