I inspected snapd and noticed that we don't invoke "userdel" or
"deluser" in any production code. We have some tests that do use it and
we now support --extrausers there.

I'm inclined to mark the snappy task as fix released, given that we
inherit the relevant tools from core and core18 snaps which in turn are
fed with updates from the archive. While in the past we carried this
patch locally in a package override, given that it is now fixed in both
Xenial and Bionic I cannot imagine anything else we'd have to do in the
context of this issue.

With this rationale I'm marking it as fix released. Please reopen if
there's more relevant work to be done.

Bug description:
  TEST CASE:
  - run userdel --extrausers foo on a ubuntu core system

  REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
  - low, this option will only take effect when "userdel --extrauser" is used.

  On an Ubuntu Core system is impossible to delete an user from the
  extrausers db:

  root@localhost:/# userdel --extrausers alice
  userdel: unrecognized option '--extrausers'
