This bug also affects amavisd-new version 2.5.3-1ubuntu3 in Hardy. Could
it be possible to fix the LTS release version too ?
Thanks

Debian's solution was to remove the user on purge. I've merged that
into Jaunty, so this is 'fixed' there.

Sorry, it is a very bad practice to remove system users on package
purge. There might still be files or processes left which belong to that
user, and the next time you install a package which creates a new system
user, that new one would suddenly inherit those files/processes.
Instead, the install
Understood that patches should foremost be submitted to the development
release of Ubuntu. Hence, I'm submitting a new debdiff; this one against
the Jaunty version.

What it basically does it to allow the purged homedir to get (re)created

I can confirm this problem in Intrepid. Doing a full purge of amavisd-
new doesn't remove the user amavis, hence causing the reinstall of
amavisd-new to fail.
I can confirm the same problem in Hardy.
