Public bug reported:
We would like a debconf option to be available to prevent removing the
oem user's home directory. Specifically, this amounts to removing the
--remove option from the userdel invocation in oem-config-* (when the
debconf option is specified).
We are currently using a patched version because we had the issue of
people using our fresh distro installation and then eventually running
oem-config on accident (or curiousity), causing their existing files to
be deleted entirely.
I will admit our use case is not quite what oem-config is designed for,
but there are workflows in our organization that prevent proper use, and
this tool is still useful despite rather dangerous for us as is (but we
patched for now, so it is okay for lucid).
