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
this group is not used as a primary group for another user, and will
just warn without deleting the user
otherwise. The -f option can force the deletion of this group.
