Bug description:
Binary package hint: adduser

On experimenting with encrypted home directories, I repeatedly added and removed users with encrypted home directories (had to do that because of bug 347969).

It occurred to me that "deluser --remove-home foo" followed by "adduser --encrypt-home foo" doesn't work, because deluser leaves /var/lib/ecryptfs/foo behind.
