how to safely remove an acl: user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t

[Berni Elbourn <berni421@gmail.com>]

I was tidying up some old accounts on an squeeze system today and noticed this one home directory has a full stop in the 
permissions:

$ ls -ld /home/manager.gwcc/
drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/

Seems this is an acl:

$ ls -lZd /home/manager.gwcc/
drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/

Harmless enough but entirely not needed. Googling a bit did suggest setfacl -b. So a quick apt-get install acl ..

$ sudo setfacl -b /home/manager.gwcc/
$ ls -lZd /home/manager.gwcc/
drwxr-x---. 2 manager.gwcc e-manager user_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t 4096 May 10 17:26 /home/manager.gwcc/

So this leaves the acl in place. Sorry but I have exhausted my Google skills. Any pointers to rid this setting? Or shall 
I just recreate the folder from scratch.
