Updated [Test Plan].
Further clarifying the verification done confirmation from Simon in #22: in
chat "I actually retested the thing on Jammy, Noble, and the proposed version,
just to be sure.".
Thank you very much, Simon!

Thanks for clarifying!
1) Ok, that's reasonable.
2) Ok, I'll fix the Test Plan in the SRU bug description after your
confirmation (in chat) I could do it.
3) Ok, thanks for confirming. Right, after reviewing the comments, it seems the
delays were related to getting a verification confirmation an
Ugh, blast from the past.
1/ That output, while very probably a bug, is not a regression, as it
was already present in Jammy. Given my lack of familiarity with the
upstream code, I didn't even try to find out what was going there and
instead focused on my task :)
2/ It's a bug in the test plan (I
Hi Simon,
Thanks for the all work on this.
This seems almost good to go for release, but I wanted to check 3 points with
your first.
1) Are these uppercase messages expected by default?
They seem unrelated to the proposed changes; just checking.

Reviewing this.
1) The previous comment didn't flip the verification tags back
to done, as apparently intended per comments 13-15, 18. Done.
2) The autopkgtests regression for mysql (comment 17) cleared,
but many others are now stale as superseded in noble-updates,
triggering reruns on those [1]

The autopkgtests in mysql-8.0/armhf seems to be timeouts (retried),
and output mismatch (apparently the shutdown banner is unexpected).
The latter might need to be looked at.

Did we get verification from the Ubuntu Core team if this actually fixes
the problem for them? Looks like it's a required step in the
verification.

I marked Mantic as Wont Fix since this is a bug that primarily affects
Ubuntu Core, Mantic users are likely unaffected, so I'd rather spare
them an unnecessary update.

I opted for the "quickfix" approach, as it has the merits of minimizing
the changes to the "normal" codepaths, thus reducing the risks of
regressions for non-core users. While the extrausers case is not as
correct as it would have been with a full fix, it's consistent with the
behaviour in 22.04 an

Basically, the previous group validation was done using glibc's getgrid
directly, which was presumably coping well with the RO status of
/etc/group, but that poses consistency problems because you could add a
