It's a related issue, but not the same. The code path followed when deleting 
an account and figuring out which other accounts are valid candidates for the 
orphaned splits it totally unrelated to the code handling disabling account 
type changes.

It happened to come up in the same discussion about changing an account type 
but are in fact two distinct use cases.

I prefer to track them in separate bugs as I don't know whether both parts 
will be fixed in time for 2.6.17.
