Dave Thompson reported that an =E2=80=98operating-system=E2=80=99 declarati=
on where a
user is declared with a =E2=80=98group=E2=80=99 that doesn=E2=80=99t exist =
leads to a failure at
boot-time (=E2=80=98useradd=E2=80=99 fails.)  This is in GuixSD 0.8.2.

Users/groups should be statically validated when the configuration is
instantiated to avoid this kind of issues.
