Does glibc provide a mechanism for faking a group name? I think not.
Theoretically, a preloaded shared library would work as well.

Are you running the root tests as part of the package build?
The group is added and then removed again. If you think this is too
intrusive, we can comment those parts out again; we'll at least have
the case documented.
