If you need somebody to act as upload sponsor, let me know, I can help (however, I don't want to become a permanent sponsor).
Thank you. I think we should be good though.

There's nothing written in the stone of the Debian policy for this, and in fact, it's quite a controversial topic. One thing is that if you do call userdel, you have to be extremely careful that absolutely no file are left on the hard drive with the UID/GID of the user you created. If you decide to just leave the system user, that's the easy path, and nobody will be able complain about it (it's a common way to do things, and it's the way maintainers do in RedHat/Fedora as well I believe).
Thanks. I think not removing it sounds like the simplest thing to do... Cheers, Simon -- Simon MacMullen RabbitMQ, VMware -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
