There is no standard deinstall/remove for packages in buildroot (that
I know off), some packages have rules to remove them, but not all.

/etc/shadow and most /etc files are installed from the target_skelaton
you are using, and that depends on the Device target you are building
for.
/usr/bin is only created if needed by packages, so if it isin't there,
no packages needed it.
