Adam:

Thanks so much for the thorough bug report!

>From looking at the code, I also cannot see how "--remove-all-files"
could possibly respect the "EXCLUDE_FSTYPES" option.  This does not
agree with the documentation at all.

Note that deluser.conf(5) currently has this to say...

  EXCLUDE_FSTYPES
    A regular expression which describes all file systems which
    should be excluded when looking for files of a user to be
    deleted.  Defaults to "(proc|sysfs|usbfs|devpts|tmpfs|afs)".

This seems like a pretty clear contract with the user to skip deletion
of data residing on file systems of these types.

I will mark this bug as confirmed so that it can be handled in a future
release.

Thanks again!
