Details

When installing lightdm, a lightdm user is created. This can be seen by looking at the output of `getent passwd`. However after uninstalling lightdm, the lightdm user still persists in the output of `getent passwd`.

Additional info:
Version: 1:1.30.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
Install, and then uninstall lightdm and then look at the output of getent passwd.

I think the only thing that needs to happen to fix this is `userdel lightdm` needs to be ran when the package is uninstalled.
This task depends upon
