I had a look at this installation failure out of interest.

The postrm script of this package tries to set up groups with a certain
name, but only if the group does not yet exist. It expects groups with
a certain name to have a certain gid.

Because the group "input" already exists in the Debian buildchroot it
does not create it, but still tries to add a user to that group based on
its wrongly assumed, non-existent gid, which fails.

The package has transitioned into unstable only recently and it looks
like no piuparts test has happened before. I am unsure what to do here. 

Regards,
Simon
