In Debian I installed puppet with apt-get install puppet.

Later I decided to uninstall it with apt-get purge puppet puppet-common.

However I just noticed my /etc/passwd file still contains the line for puppet:

puppet:x:107:115:Puppet configuration management daemon,,,:/var/lib/puppet:/bin/false

Is this user still around for any reason? Any harm from userdel -r puppet since puppet itself is no longer installed in my system?

You should be fine to delete this user.
