Bug#413279: ipw3945d: leaves a user behind after purge



tags 413279 wontfix
thanks

Hi Eddy,

This was discussed numerous times before, and the consensus (the way I 
see it, at least) is that it is better to leave the user behind. There 
is always a possibility that there will be files owned by the user 
left on the system (or entries in /proc, in case of ipw3945d). If the 
user is removed and another user with the same uid is created later, 
it may lead to undesired consequences. I understand that it's a bit 
far fetched, but there is really no good reason, other than aesthetic, 
for removing it.

Best regards,
