Hi Leo,

your commit a3002104:
system: Assert, that user and group names are unique.

breaks `guix system reconfigure` for me and other people (at least two
in IRC).

$ guix system reconfigure config.scm
guix system: error: the following groups appear more than once: lp

$ sudo grep lp /etc/group
lp:x:989:

lpadmin:x:975:

$ sudo grep lp /etc/passwd
lp:!:18467::::::

The same happend on my server with the `nginx` group.

I reverted it for the mean time, as I find it pretty grave...
