I like the idea of cleaning up /var/lib/docker contents, but I'm still pretty on the fence for whether it's a safe thing for us to do in general. This directory might contain important user data that they aren't necessarily even aware was there, and if we blow it away, we've just deleted that (orphaned or even unorphaned volumes, container writable layers, etc). What does postgres do in this case? I think they've got similar issues and I'm curious whether they just blow it away regardless. We might also run into issues if the user has mounted a different partition on /var/lib/docker to force the daemon to use a particular storage driver or for performance reasons. ♥, - Tianon 4096R / B42F 6819 007F 00F8 8E36 4FD4 036A 9C25 BF35 7DD4

Not really. To be honest I think you're right and I didn't think about the issue you mentioned above (thanks for pointing that out, it's good to know ;-)), so it should be probable be left as is it for the user at least.

Thank you very much. https://wiki.debian.org/AccountHandlingInMaintainerScripts I don't believe that's needed. I don't really mind either way, but purging and re-installing may give the user a new uid, which is a huge pain if you have any files owned by the daemon on the machine that you backed up. I think we're pretty split on if we should do this, is there a good reason besides "it looks ugly in /etc/passwd" or something? Cheers, Paul -- .''`.

Hi again, Also, docker user is created in postinst, but not removed on purge neither. Could you please fix it? Thank you very much.
