However, after a new installation there is no (default) one there.

The whole case /is/ about ntop being purged...

The user would not be removed in that case.
That is no different from what would have happened before when there was
no /etc/ntop/init.cfg (which there was not on a new install).
Also, as a sidenote, in the current postrm the check is done twice:
INIT="/etc/ntop/init.cfg"
if [ -f $INIT ] ; then
# parse config file for user
if [ -f "$INIT" ] ; then
. $INIT
fi
I fail to see why.

But it is in the form of "if [ -f $f ]; then INIT=$f" combined with "if
[ -n "$INIT" ]; then" which is in the end the same as "if [ -f "$INIT"
]; then..."

Shouldn't it be removed anyhow on purge? But considering your argument
we had maybe better say:
db_get ntop/createuser
CREATUSER=$RET
db_get ntop/user
DEBCONFUSER=$RET
if [ "$CREATEUSER" = "true" -o "$DEBCONFUSER" = "$USER" ]; then
deluser $USER

Ok. Magic ;-)
