The user, if created by the package, should be removed. If other packages=
=20
depend on it, they should depend on the package. As for the directories=20
that belong to the user, just do a=20

	find $directory -uid $CREATEDUID -exec chown root:root {} \;

For all of the directories, once you have the UID.

The standard procedure when creating users (check other packages) is to add=
=20
them in postinst and remove them in postrm, please do it properly.
