what happens without your change ?

my understanding is that this will be merged in that order:

1. a bunch of groups
2. systemd
3. pambase
4. shadow


in which case, the groups from 1. will fail if shadow is not present at
that point


PS: we have the 'build' useflag for this when building stage1's
