While testing this in CI, got the following error while building any
targets:

/usr/sbin/groupmod: unrecognized option '--system'

I didn't deeply debug why exactly this arg comes to gropmod. The
strange thing is that there are no visible errors in
do_image_postprocess log, while build in general fails. See the
attachments.
