Wheel group w/GID = 1001 is created by default on a new install (should be a system group w/GID < 1000)

• I have searched open bugs for this issue

Summary

It looks like the wheel group is created unconditionally during install.

It also looks like it is created as a normal user group (gid = 1001) after the primary install user's group is created (named after the user) with gid = 1000.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install an ISO, create a single admin user, reboot
2. After first boot, check getent group wheel in a terminal; it will output
   wheel:x:1001

Expected result

Either the wheel group shouldn't exist (Solus uses the sudo group like Debian does) XOR the wheel group should be a system group (GID <1000)

Actual result

getent group wheel outputs wheel:x:1001

Other comments

I suspect the reason this is created is due to the uncommented greetd lines here.

If those lines were either changed/commented out/removed, I suspect the issue would not present.

EDIT: I tested the above, and that was not it. Also, this is apparently present on existing installs, so it is likely something else.

I don't believe we use greetd in any edition, so I don't think it's that that. Further, I see nothing in the Calamares code that creates any group unconditionally; everything is set from the Users module config file.

This is probably related to when we added wheel as a default group. The group should exist. It's possible the uid is wrong.
