By not adding the user (a second time) to its maingroup in /etc/groups, adduser identifies the group as a user private group, and is able to remove the group together with the user, if the group is not used otherwise (standard case for debian UPGs).[0]
So "deluser does not remove empty main group when the suer is member of it" because the "suer" ;-) in his own group means, the group was not created by the means of adduser with user private groups enabled.
