I'm sorry but I'm somewhat simpleminded probably.

Currently I don't understand how setup could create a /etc/passwd file
with gid 513 and a group file with gid 10513.

IIRC, setup calls both, mkpasswd and mkgroup, using the -l option.
This should naturally result in using the 513 in both files.

If anybody could sched some light here so that we can avoid that
trap in future?!?

Oops, just so that this is in the archives:  You mean `-d mydomain',
do you?
