This is correct. There needs to be a kolabDeleteflag for every kolab host.

When deleting the user actually in the first place only the deleteflags are 
set. It is then the job of _each_ kolab server (kolabd) to cleanup locally. 
After the local cleanup (e.g. removal of the mailbox) worked successfully it 
the job of the kolabd to remove the deleteflag from the LDAP entry. If it is 
the last deleteflag (all other hosts are finished) kolabd must remove the 
complete LDAP entry.

Maybe. Does every kolab host have access to the master servers LDAP repository 
for writing?
