Uploaded accountsservice to recognize both and set "sudo" group for
enabling users to become admins.

That's everything on the Ubuntu side which I'm aware of now. But I'm
sure that somewhere out there are more packages which assume the
"admin" group, as we have used that for 7 years now.

Haven't checked that. Jonathan?
