usermaint won't let you expunge a user who is on no lists and not an ace
for anything if the status of the user is 3 (deleted). (error code is
"Object is in use"). If you then modify the user to have status 0
(registerable), he may be expunged.
Since deactivate puts people into state 3, and expunge cleans up all the
baggage associated with a user, there seems to be no reason for expunge
(really delete_user) to refuse to delete status 3 users.
