>Description:
	The apache2 port has a pkg-deinstall message which tells the user
	the following: 
	
		"To delete Apache user permanently, use 'pw userdel www'"

	However since rev 1.25.2.5 of etc/master.passwd FreeBSD has the user
	and group www by default, so this is no longer correct advice.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /usr/ports/www/apache2/ && make deinstall
	
>Fix:
	Remove the pkg-deinstall file, or make it intelligent enough to know
	that on revisions greater or equal to 1.25.2.5 deletion is not
	required. The revision Id can be obtained with:

	# ident /etc/master.passwd | cut -f8 -d " "

	The pkg-install only adds the www:www information if it doesn't
	already exist so it does not need to be changed.
