From my tiny bit of testing, it seems to be working fine from postinst. I've
updated my patch to do the following:

* Moving adduser call from preinst to postinst

* adding "--quiet" to adduser, and removing redirection of output to /dev/null

* Running adduser only if the "puppet" account is not present

* Running deluser and delgroup only if the binaries are present on the system
