@Eduard: any reason why this can't be done via Debian?

Title:
  Removing package fails to remove user

Status in “apt-cacher-ng” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When purging the apt-cacher-ng package, the apt-cacher-ng user is not
  removed from the system. This causes reinstalls to fail because the
  apt-cacher-ng user already exists. The package should remove the user
  when being purged.

  Workaround:
  After uninstalling, run the command:
  sudo userdel apt-cacher-ng
  Once the user is removed, the package can be installed again.

  Version affected: 12.04.1 Precise
  Package version: 0.7.2-1ubuntu2.1
