[Bug 753605] [NEW] removing mysql with apt doesn't delete user mysql

[Enrique]

Public bug reported:

 I installed mysql-5.1 and later on I wanted to remove it. When I purged
it, the mysql user is still in my /etc/passwd. I think that the user has
to be removed, to leave the system in the same status as before.

 It can be reproduced with the following commands:
apt-get install mysql-server
apt-get purge libdbd-mysql-perl libdbi-perl libhtml-template-perl libnet-daemon-perl  libplrpc-perl mysql-client-5.1 mysql-server mysql-server-5.1

 After that, the user mysql appears at the end of /etc/passwd, which shouldn't.
 Also, the group mysql should be removed, if contains no other users.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 TLS

 Regards
