That's exactly the case here: in postrm/purge the user account is not deleted but just disabled; but the home directory is deleted. So at the second install the directory is not created. Since there's already a codepath to deal with an exisiting user, I suggest to (re)create the directory there --> attached patch. Any comments before I NMU? Cheers, gregor -- .''`.
