The /etc/deluser.conf configuration file contains the defaults for
deluser, the tool for deleting users from a system usually found on
Debian-based systems. An example of the file:
# /etc/deluser.conf: `deluser' configuration.
# Remove home directory and mail spool when user is removed
REMOVE_HOME = 0
# Remove all files on the system owned by the user to be removed
REMOVE_ALL_FILES = 0
# Backup files before removing them. This options has only an effect if
# REMOVE_HOME or REMOVE_ALL_FILES is set.
BACKUP = 0
# target directory for the backup file
BACKUP_TO = "."
# delete a group even there are still users in this group
ONLY_IF_EMPTY = 0
# exclude these filesystem types when searching for files of a user to backup
EXCLUDE_FSTYPES = "(proc|sysfs|usbfs|devpts|tmpfs)"
