I found the culprit: With the default configuration schroot (used to managed the chroots this happened in) copies /etc/{passwd,group} from the host to the chroot, overwriting any changes done within the chroot. So we can reassign this bug to schroot. Not sure about the severity; while it certain breaks the system inside the chroot (and thus is a significant bug) schroot manages that system, so it's not exactly "unrelated".the major question is: What/who removed the Debian-exim group?
schroot certainly shouldn't overwrite /etc/passwd and /etc/group by default. It makes a lot of sense to copy over additional account information from the host, but not to remove users and groups that have been added inside the chroot.
