That's exactly the case here: in postrm/purge the user account is not
deleted but just disabled; but the home directory is deleted. So at
the second install the directory is not created.

Since there's already a codepath to deal with an exisiting user, I
suggest to (re)create the directory there --> attached patch.


Any comments before I NMU?
