This will leave acct-{user,group}/slurm without reverse dependencies.
Last-rite them, too?
Aren't we still stuck on what to do with [1]?

FWIW, I am not sure why we should keep the unused acct-{user,group}
packages. At least I don't see how removing them would cause any issues
or confusion? The bug appears to be light on arguments in favor of
keeping them. Quite contrary, I think keeping them could cause some
confusion, as users may start looking for the according actual package
and hope to find it.
But maybe I am missing something?
Needless to say that I am only talking about the acct-{user,group}
packages, the uid-gid.txt reservation should stay for obvious reasons.
And this also rules out that the IDs are re-assigned.
