Description
This issue has been migrated from [#4439](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/4439).

Hi,
The debian package creates files that belong to nogroup. But, like nobody, nogroup is a virtual group who should never own any files. It is meant as a group to switch to as a daemon in order to drop privileges. Instead matrix-synapse should create a group and assign all files to that group.
