Ok, I expect that these static permanent group id's are required (as systemtap can potentially handle/store sensitive data)...

Do you need only group id's assigned or you plan to have the userids with the same name as well? Which package is going to create these groups?

We just need the group ids. There are no current plans for corresponding userids.
These groups will be created by the systemtap-runtime package.
