Description

Any package that creates a user that should be a member of the docker group using the sysusers.d method, will have a requires of group(docker). The vanilla fedora moby-engine package provides this, but the docker-ce one doesn't.
The docker-ce package does create the group, but using the method of older rpm packaging.

Research direction

Start by locating the docker-ce RPM packaging definitions and the package build entry point. Compare the generated package metadata with Fedora's moby-engine behavior, then verify that the built docker-ce RPM provides group(docker) while retaining its existing group creation.
