Systems that were installed from a hamm-release (or earlier),
and don't have qmail installed, still has qmail special users
in /etc/passwd.

These users have to be manually removed.

It should be base-passwd's responsibility to do this if
qmail is not installed.

The users are:

alias:x:70:65534:qmail alias:/var/qmail/alias:/bin/sh
qmaild:x:71:65534:qmail daemon:/var/qmail:/bin/sh
qmails:x:72:70:qmail send:/var/qmail:/bin/sh
qmailr:x:73:70:qmail remote:/var/qmail:/bin/sh
qmailq:x:74:70:qmail queue:/var/qmail:/bin/sh
qmaill:x:75:65534:qmail log:/var/qmail:/bin/sh
qmailp:x:76:65534:qmail pw:/var/qmail:/bin/sh

There is also an qmail group which should go:

qmail:x:70:

That's possible, but should be done in the postinst since I don't want
to complicate the update-passwd code. There are two slight problems with
this:
1. it will still break a hand-compiled qmail if the user isn't careful
   and says `yes' here
2. it means that more interaction is needed.

You're right that it would be nice though, and I'll probably do it in
woody when I convert the postinst to use debconf. For potato it's really
low on my priority-list though.

Wichert.
