Right.

Well, that's the thing. I wasn't very clear in my original report, but I
can't think of files that irker could leave behind that we don't also
want to remove. Logfiles, maybe, but those are not created by default
anyways, AFAIK.

So removing the user is harmless, and would make the package cleaner.

Thanks.
