Purging/expunging users: is bin/moveucluster.pl the thing to look at?

For a test, I need to have an expunged user on my dreamhack. I don't intend to wait 2 months for that test, so I'm planning to tweak the existing process. From my reading of the source code of the 3 programs listed in http://wiki.dreamwidth.net/wiki/index.php/Purging_deleted_users, I think what I want is something like:
bin/moveucluster.pl --delete --expungedel <username> 0
with a version of bin/moveucluster.pl modified to remove the built-in delay. Before I start trying and maybe break my database in subtle ways, can someone confirm I'm on the right track?
