I was under the impression that it's common practice to leave user
accounts and groups behind when packages are removed. The rationale I've
seen is that if the user/group has access to any files that aren't owned
by the package, then the numeric ID will still have that access after
the name is removed. Next time a user/group is created the numeric ID
will be reused, and then the new user/group will inherit privileges
from the deleted one.

If user accounts and groups will now be deleted automatically, is
anything done to purge their privileges to prevent that scenario?
