Hi,
I know this bug is from long ago, but I'm cleaning up old ntp bugs to really
understand what is left open.
Adam please feel free to correct me, but we have useradd/remove only in
ntp.postinst/ntp.postrm since a long time. I see no reason to keep the
bug open and therefore mark it Fix Released (I guess that is the most
applicable status).
** Changed in: ntp (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Fix Released

Title:
dapper -> hardy upgrade with purge removes ntp user
Status in ntp package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ntp source package in Hardy:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ntp
When upgrading from dapper to hardy, the old "ntp-simple" (and
similar) packages get removed. Should one also purge these packages
(as I often do, since I don't like having "config cruft" lying around
forever), the ntp user is removed. The ntp user can be brought back
by re-installing "ntp" after one purges the old packages, but that's
less than intuitive.
Ideally, rather than dropping the old packages wholesale, since their
maintainer scripts currently contain code to remove the ntp user, they
should be replaced with empty packages that have no such maintainer
scripts, then dropped entirely after the Hardy LTS release.
