That doesn't answer the question. The postrm script won't
try to remove the users if they are already removed, so you
should remove the dcc user and group from LDAP *before* doing
the --purge and there would be no error.
Did adduser add the dcc user and group for you, or did you add it yourself?
I think that dcc should warn it couldn't remove the user and
group if the adduser commands can't, but not fail. I'm mildly
concerned that usermod is used instead of moduser in postinst.
I also think your system is misconfigured (but that doesn't
excuse dcc-common failing to remove) and you should add files
back into nsswitch if you want debian packages to install and
purge without sysadmin intervention.
Here's a udiff. Excuse timestamps:
