This is a forward of the Ubuntu bug https://launchpad.net/bugs/1259562

The guest session feature provided by lightdm has resulted in files for
deleted temporary guest users being kept in the cache dir. To fix this,
we are about to patch src/daemon.c so it deletes such files, and not
just reports their existence in the log.

Since users may be deleted in a number of various ways without
accountsservice being notified, we think it would be a good idea to make
this change upstream.

  When you log out from a guest session, the temporary guest account is
  removed - but only almost. The folder /var/lib/AccountsService/users
  gets 'polluted' with files for previous guest users.
