[Bug 311277] Re: amavisd-new broken user (again) Intrepid

[Martin Pitt]

Sorry, it is a very bad practice to remove system users on package
purge. There might still be files or processes left which belong to that
user, and the next time you install a package which creates a new system
user, that new one would suddenly inherit those files/processes.

Instead, the installation should be made more robust, so that an already
existing user is just checked that it has correct properties (system
user, etc.)
