Yes, that's true, and because of that I've added a test to check if the 
group is there or not prior running addgroup.

ose.git;a=blobdiff;f=debian/virtualbox-
ose.postinst;h=26e900eb8ae452a2997668e9a6883e2f2586dde5;hp=e253b3f65684fe7bfbc2097ca300be498ee5cf3a;hb=9bb1e4ba6cee9470ace64bec9789e7be68b538f2;hpb=915bbfa03f86d57d989e804d7706fb43834c8306

as far as I know it doesn't matter if this is a system group or not.

Greetings
