AFAIK the group creation is true only if (/etc/adduser.conf):
=====
# The USERGROUPS variable can be either "yes" or "no".  If "yes" each
# created user will be given their own group to use as a default, and
# their home directories will be g+s.  If "no", each created user will
# be placed in the group whose gid is USERS_GID (see below).
USERGROUPS=yes
=====

This should be simple assuming that /etc/adduser.conf is set the first
time and never changed (which could be not true).

Just my 0.02EUR...
