While this is a reasonable concern I do not think that it is generally true nowadays for system processes. Also thanks to piuparts, nowadays packages that leave files around after being purged should be a really small number. Actually I cannot think of any, so this should be considered the exception rather than the norm. So I totally support transitioning to systemd-sysusers. -- ciao, Marco
