Yeah, this solves the reported bug.

This is not a 100% solution: there's the cases when the user is removed
from an ACL and from a policy, and those deletions are done directly
instead of accumulating to the end for a mass deletion.

I had to export AcquireDeletionLock (previously a static in
dependency.c). I wonder if I should export ReleaseDeletionLock too, for
symmetry.
