Luke you're right. Fortunately ubiquity (which is the ubuntu installer) seems to work just fine - at least according to its changelog:

user-setup (1.27ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Add the initial user to the adm, dip, lpadmin, and sambashare groups
      too, and to the admin group if no root password is set. Do not add
      them to the audio, video, floppy, dip, netdev, powerdev, or scanner
      groups.

There are user default groups defined in d-i/source/user-setup/debian/user-setup-udeb.templates (see ubiquity sources) which match the changelog.
