Package: adduser
Version: 3.106
Followup-For: Bug #469165


Please see that:

my_host:~# deluser myuser
Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/sbin/deluser line 228.
WARNING: You are just about to delete the root account (uid 0)
Usually this is never required as it may render the whole system unusable
Press immediately Ctrl+C if you want to abort
Ok, you really want it, I'll delete that account

Fortunately it just a script mistake.
