Almost all system users should use a non-existent home directory, which solves the problem for those users. And in cases like the one linked to from footnote [1] above, I think rm -rf on purge seems like the right solution, even if the user/group itself sticks around. Most of the time packages shouldn't leave data around when purged, even if they leave users around just in case something else uses the UID. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
