Cleanfeed does in no way affect the content of your active file.
You have to define the groups either one by one using

ctlinnd newgroup /group.name/ m for moderated groups ot
ctlinnd newgroup /group.name/ y for unmoderated groups.

There is also a utility named actsync installed with INN, which
uses two control files:

actsync.cnf and actsync.ign.

Please read man actsync for a documentation.

Additional information:

A quick and dirty(probably) way to update your active file would be to
download the active file from isc.org, gunzip it and *append* it
to your current active file:

1. Stop your INN server
2. make a copy of your current active file, just in case
2. wget ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz 
3. gunzip active.gz
4. cat active >> /var/lib/news/active (this should be the path for your distribution)
              ^^ -> append to the existing active file
5. Start INN and issue a LIST command to verify
