We do have a template for deluser and friends, I added a template for 
ucf (sitting in the piatti.git updates branch), the others are minor. 
For pkill we could use:

  To use pkill in the 'postrm remove' phase, add Depends: procps to the 
  package. Using pkill in the 'postrm purge' phase is not neccessary 
  because any service stopping needs to be performed during
  'postrm remove' already.

Hmm, shouldn't stopping already occur in 'prerm remove'.

Anyway, using pkill does not seem right - this can easily escape our 
chroot and kill processes from the host ...

Can I go ahead filing ucf and deluser bugs or do we need a
debian-devel at ldo mass bug filing discussion first?
