Maybe you missed the fact that the person installed 2 other packages that both referred to the wheel group in their configurations (pam.d/su and sudo), but
pam.d/s does not reference or mention the wheel group in the default configuration. sudo does not require wheel in the default configuration. That you can enhance the configuration with wheel group: ok, that's correct. And as this is a week dependency (they are NOT required for default configuration), they will be installed by default as they are usefull. But the person did explicit say, it will no additional usefull packages, only the real minimal required ones. Everything works as expected.
neither pulled in the package to create the group as a dependency. In this case, if the group is explicitly referred to in a package's default configuration yet the group is not created either by that package or through a dependency, are we not creating a system that is "broken" (at least as far as that package is concerned) by default?
No, in this case the group is not explicit referred in a package default configuration! And they for enhancements: the group will be installed for this reasons by default, but the person didn't wanted that.
Or should the default configurations for sudo/pam be changed to NOT refer to the wheel group?
They don't use the wheel group by default, pam.d/su does not even mention it. Don't play with default resolver configuration if you don't understand the outcome.
