New Revision: 700

URL: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-boinc/?sc=1&rev=700
Log:
debian/boinc-client.postrm: Use the --system option for deluser/delgroup
to ensure that we are removing system accounts only and mask the
deluser/delgroup calls because adduser is not essential and we can't rely
on non-essential packages to be present during the purge phase. This would
be a Policy violation, see section 7.2.
