I'm new to Debian, and newer still to setting up LDAP at home.

I was disheartened, when researching this problem, to find out that
this is still a bug after 1.5 years.

Right now there are five user/group references in udev that don't
exist as part of the main system.  They are, and come from:
group rdma from package libibverbs
group nvram from UNKNOWN
group fuse from fuse-utils
group kvm from kvm
user tss group tss from trousers

(I couldn't figure out what package adds nvram, and wonder if it is
actually still necessary.)


So, hows this for a suggestion:

We remove those references from 91-permissions.rules and create five
new packages, named something like:

udev-$GROUP

It would Depend on udev and only contain one file of real interest:
/etc/udev/rules.d/91-permissions-$GROUP.rules

Each of the the packages that actually adds the group could Recommend
udev-$GROUP

That way, if someone is trying to run a system without udev, they
could still do so, and wouldn't need to install the supplemental
packages.

If Debian packaging supports a (if udev installed, Depend on
udev-$GROUP) that would be even better, but I don't think it does.
