It does already but only if deluser tool is available. However, this is a minor bug because normally it does not hurt even if the user account remains on the system.
Why this you might ask? Because the installation normally does not fail since it's a system user account. Unless... somebody (YOU?) messed around with user id so it doesn't look like a system account anymore and in this case adduser can show erroneous behavior.
