As far as I've understood, adduser's "deluser" command can remove all remaining files and optionally make a backup -- that's its main advantage over passwd's "userdel", which isn't Essential either, but at least Priority: required.
Independent of what you do to solve the issue at hand, please DON'T give package maintainers the idea that deluser might be obsolete and DON'T encourage them to move to userdel in their prerm/postrm.
Indeed, that would be bad -- last but not least because it's not policy compliant either, which is why I haven't listed it as one of the options.
