Title:
  addgroup option to auto-create /home/group/<new-group> sgid
  directories

Status in “adduser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Let groupadd have the option to create /home/group/<groupname> sgid
  directories.

  Sgid group directories are the means for users to easily collaborate
  on local files with the user private group scheme used in
  debian/ubuntu.

  Graphical tools can then adopt to this addgroup option.

  Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify
  /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow."
  (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2)
