Enrique, Marc is correct, removing the user is not necessarily a good
idea.
The requirements of a "purge" of the package don't actually necessitate
this, we just need to clean up the files that were added. Users and
groups are a special case where we're even allowed to modify the system
state, and likewise, allowed to not return it to before.
I'm going to mark this bug as Opinion, in hopes that those with
differeing opinions might see it and comment.
