It's still good to use deluser. It's less lowlevel and supports flags like --system, which we want.

Here's a debdiff against Jaunty for an SRU. I'm not 100% clear on the necessity, though. Does sysklogd get purged during a normal install? I would have assumed just a normal remove.

The patch ignores return value 1 (which means either that the user is not a system user or that the user is still logged in).

Debdiffs for sysklog in Karmic and rsyslog in Karmic are coming. I nominated this bug for Jaunty, but I only wanted to nominate sysklogd, not rsyslog...
