This *is* part of the diagnostics. Preventing the deletion and then
watching the logs to see who complains may help you pinpoint the
culprit. Or it may not. But it's worth a try.
What's your better idea? Don't just bad-mouth other people's suggestions
if you have none of your own.
Other suggestions I might make would include:
ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/pulseaudio # (before the deletion)
If it turns out the permissions on /usr/bin are incorrect, that's a
thing you'll want to fix immediately.
