Major Package upgrade from 1.559 to 1.560 on Debian systems fails with:
| dpkg: error processing jenkins (--configure): |
| subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 |
due to the:
| addgroup --system --quiet jenkins |
call in postinst without checking whether corresponding group already exists.
Problem introduced as of:
| commit 7216aab0d3f7215be7d71109936ad4b3aa0a583b |

| debian: Use a configurable group for the Jenkins user |
| Typical Debian practice is to have one equally-named group per system |
| user. Make that for the jenkins user by default, but allow it to be |
| overridden in /etc/default/jenkins, same as for the user name. |
This change also deleted the check for the existing Jenkins user (for whatever reason, but that's also broken).
I'm working on a fix/PR right now.
