in the wiki page
https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Creating_an_Alpine_package
it said that use that "thing" of sudo.. so why the complication about
groups?

so this is official or is forced to? I mean can we avoid.. cos i try to
package GAMBAS and seems this is irresponsible to promote a thing that is a
crap in security!

sudo is a horrible creature that makes the groups means nothing..

Groups and package users have to be created in the build environment in order 
to ensure that the generated package has correct UIDs and GIDs when installed 
on the target.  This is because apk-tools needs to know which files will belong 
to the new user/group.
