Hash: SHA1

Package: adduser
Version: 3.59
Severity: critical

Some users have default /bin as home directory. deluser will remove /bin
if such a user is removed and REMOVE_HOME is set to 1 in the config.
After that the system has to be mostely new installed.

This might be a critical bug in adduser or in the debian policy to
create such cracy users.

The bug might happens if you think of cleaning the system of from
unnecesarry users to hardening it.

Please at least check for such directorys like /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin,
/usr/sbin, /usr or / to not completely remove!!!
