Bug#599458: postrm purge hard-codes tomcat6 user and group names

[Misha Koshelev]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.28-6
Severity: normal

Here is relevant part of postrm:
        deluser tomcat6
        delgroup tomcat6

I believe this could possibly be:
        db_get tomcat6/username && TOMCAT6_USER="$RET" || TOMCAT6_USER="tomcat6"
        db_get tomcat6/groupname && TOMCAT6_GROUP="$RET" || TOMCAT6_GROUP="tomcat6"
	deluser $TOMCAT6_USER
	delgroup $TOMCAT6_GROUP

I tested this and indeed tomcat6 results in errors upon purge when non-standard user and group are used:

On install:
Adding system user `tomcat' (UID 106) ...
Adding new user `tomcat' (UID 106) with group `tomcat' ...

On purge:
Purging configuration files for tomcat6 ...
/usr/sbin/deluser: The user `tomcat6' does not exist.
The group `tomcat6' does not exist.

Thank you
