Description
Specific Issue
We now expect a backup to contain the public_key_read_access group for an organization. If it doesn't we can't restore it.
General Issue
Over the last few Chef Server releases a number of changes have been made to the default layout of an organization and default ACLs. If we don't account for these changes on restore, it is very unclear what the restored state of the organization is. This needs to be investigated.

Research direction
Start with the knife-ec-restore restore path and inspect how organization groups and default ACLs are reconstructed from backups. Compare backups with and without the public_key_read_access group and document the expected restored organization state; done means older backups restore with defined, predictable defaults.
