If you aren't doing the delete-on-purge thing any more, but instead
locking the account, does it need to happen in postrm? If you lock the
account in prerm and take no further action in postrm, you can rely on
your package's Depends being satisfied during prerm (strictly speaking
they are only guaranteed to be unpacked, but I suspect that's good enough
for adduser).
