Title:
  Crontab spool file not deleted with account delete.

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  If you create an account, then install a crontab, then delete the
  account, the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> file is not deleted.

  If you then recreate the account, the new account is not able to use
  "crontab -e" as the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> is still
  there, created by the original account.

  You will always get:

  % crontab -e
  crontabs/<username>: Permission denied

  Until you change the file ownership of the
  /var/spool/cron/crontabs/<username> file to the new account.
