Bug Description
`man fuse` from package fuse 2.9.4-1ubuntu3 amd64 on Ubuntu Server Xenial (16.04) says:
SECURITY
The fusermount program is installed set-user-gid to fuse. This is done to allow users from fuse group to mount their
own filesystem implementations.
I think this used to be true in 14.04, but it's no longer true in 16.04. `/bin/fusermount` is now set-uid root, and there is no `fuse` group:
$ ls -l /bin/fusermount
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 30800 Mar 11 15:43 /bin/fusermount
$ grep fuse /etc/group
$
I'm not sure if there *should* be a `fuse` group, or if the man page needs to be updated.
