You could add a method to python/samba/tests/samba_tool/group.py and add
groups as necessary that you'd expect to be listed or not listed, then
make sure you get the results you expect.

As to *why*: it isn't just about showing that the patch works now, it is
about ensuring nobody makes a change in the future that stops it working.

cheers,
Douglas
