Wait a sec, I mispoke. Debian does not have setgid $HOMEs. The way Sean 
mentioned is how it's done. Files created by a user will automatically be 
owned by their group anyway(unless they've done a newgrp). So the Debian and 
RedHat behavior is the same(and perhaps all distros that use adduser now).

/me hides in a corner.
