I think that in Debian-like distro's the first user is installed by the installation process itself, it may have other defaults for this.
As the name already implies, adduser and useradd (the latter is a binary, the first - in MY distro - an interactive script that uses useradd for the final operation) are used to add additional users to the system, so different from that first one.

Ok too bad. I think I'm gonna edit /etc/group so it becomes consistent with what MensaWater says first (users are only mentioned in a group if this is not their primary's).
Anyway, thanks for your appreciated help
