err, what??
user is created with "adduser --system" and deluser is specular with
it; the manpage says:
--system
Only delete if user/group is a system user/group. This
avoids accidentally deleting non-system users/groups.
Additionally, if the user does not exist, no error
value is returned. This option is mainly for use in Debian
package maintainer scripts.
So where you see problems?
