In Feisty Fawn userdel manual there is section CAVEATS which says also:
If USERGROUPS_ENAB is defined to yes in /etc/login.defs, userdel will
delete the group with the same
name as the user. To avoid inconsistencies in the passwd and group
databases, userdel will check that
We are mixing deluser and userdel. :-)
userdel is from shadow package and deluser is from adduser. Adduser
contains just bunch of scripts for dealing with useradd and userdel.
userdel has in manual note that I've posted before, but deluser does not
have.
I actually do not know how patching
Hm, that would be a workaround ... But the real solution would be if
userdel prints it.

* user name, with no members,
This is a bug in userdel (package passwd); deluser just calls userdel
for doing the actual job, but userdel also removes the group.
