How or if daemon users should be removed



I have a package (apt-p2p) that I want to adopt that removes its
daemon with deluser in postrm (on purge). This causes issues (piuparts
complains) because deluser is not essential and dependent packages are
not guaranteed to be installed at the time of postrm.

So, should I:

* Not remove the user on purge (as I have seen done in other packages)
* Remove it in prerm after the debhelper section

Many thanks,
