Bug#935278: postrm does not remove user/group on purge

[INetSim]

Hm, other popular packages like e.g. postfix do remove their user/group.

INetSim's postrm script should remove the folders
/etc/inetsim, /var/lib/inetsim and /var/log/inetsim
so there should not be any files left after purge.

That's actually a common practice, in particular when the user/group
tends to own data files that might survive the package removal.

You don't want another user/group to take over the left-over data
files generated by inetsim.

I don't know whether inetsim generates any such data files but
in the general case I do not consider this a bug.

Cheers,
