Are there any guarantees on semantics for package removals?  Will the
user/group be removed from /etc/{passwd,group} or not?  Will it remove
the home directory?  What happens if the home directory is not empty?
Will it remove files owned by that user/group elsewhere?  I recall
different packages have different preferences on these topics.
