The x2goserver-one package is intended for little Ubuntu systems...  
(standalone, sqlite, make your desktop reachable from home). So the  
auto-adding for groupmember is intended here, I suppose (make it easy  
for the user).

For bigger installations/contexts use the x2goserver package (no  
-home, no -one at the end of the package name) with PostgreSQL DB  
backend, the x2goserver package does not impose auto-groupmemberships  
on you.

Greets,
Mike
