Yes -- that is what how I understood the situation. The brltty devs maintain Debian and RedHat packages with different post-install while creating groups with systemd should work across distros (but the step to move the creation so systemd is easily overlooked, and may not be noticed for a while since most installs will be upgrades rather than fresh installs).
I don't known anything about Debian. But I did check the rpm's from F27 and the rpm's from brltty.com.
The rpm's from britty.com do not contain any scripts.
The rpm's from Fedora do contain scripts and the script which creates the group is within the brlapi rpm and the group is created in the "normal" way. I don't know what you mean by "creating groups with systemd".
The PREIN script contains
getent group brlapi >/dev/null || groupadd -r brlapi >/dev/null
Additionally F34 will have brltty-6.3-1.fc34 which includes brlapi-0.8.2-1.fc34 and that contains the same PREIN script.
