[Adduser-devel] Bug#545714: deluser does not remove empty main group when the suer is member of it

[C. Gatzemeier]

By not adding the user (a second time) to its maingroup in /etc/groups,
adduser identifies the group as a user private group, and is able to
remove the group together with the user, if the group is not used
otherwise (standard case for debian UPGs).[0]

So "deluser does not remove empty main group when the suer is
member of it" because the "suer" ;-) in his own group means, the group
was not created by the means of adduser with user private groups
enabled.

Does that answer your question so you can
close 545714
