Missing folders/users/groups/permissions is a generic problem with this package. Some rc.d work attached for package team, freely use/abuse/ignore/adopt/plagiarize/debug/distribute.

Debian does exactly this, it uses
nogroup:x:65534:
Which seems better than a special group for one program.
I also wish Arch would not add log rotation cron jobs, or prompt for them during install, as an optional feature.
I say against using 'nogroup', it would be a security risk: random programs that, too, would happen to be in this group could then get read/write permission to configuration files.
