I don't think working around bugs without properly documenting them
first ist a good solution. Especially for sid where we do much more
pedantic tests than for stable.

Right, thats another possible solution for now.

Actually, we are currently down to 4 packages that fail on an
unconditional call to deluser and don't have bugs filed, yet. There were
several more when I started this thread.

sid/wheezy:
  boxbackup-server
  slurm-llnl-slurmdbd
  slurm-llnl

experimental:
  condor
