The upstream changelog of shadow 19990827 has this to say:
- added support for "usergroups" feature often found in Linux distributions (if USERGROUPS_ENAB in login.defs set to "yes", uid != 0, uid == gid, and username == groupname, then set umask to 002 instead of 022)
What "Linux distributions"?
Using USERGROUPS_ENAB: is there any Linux distribution except openSUSE/SUSE not doing it? But about modifying the umask value: only Ubuntu (Debian? I don't know) is doing that. It's at least a Ubuntu specific patch.
