Package: tor

Hey.

I've just noted, that when purging the package, at least the user
is left behind and not removed.

Any reason for that?


Cheers,
Chris.

I think that's the right way.  You never know if there are any files
left over by that user because say the admin copied a directory.

As such, users should not be removed so their uid never gets recycled.
