I just hacked up a new special page for listing the deleted contributions of a user. This has been a commonly requested feature for over a year, but for various reasons nothing much has been done about it before.
The code is in svn: see http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki?view=rev&revision=17968. As of this writing, it's not live on Wikimedia servers yet.
The page is accessible to users with deletedhistory privileges, i.e. normally sysops. There is no link to the page anywhere (except Special:Specialpages) yet; what I'd like now is some testing, review and improvements before the feature is officially announced.
So, have at it!
(P.s. see also http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699.)

On /branches/vyznev/ now, pending more cleanup and time for brion to run the necessary database update.

Excellent!
Is there an easy way to make deleted contributions show up in [[Special:CheckUser]] ?

There is probably no easy way to do that: Special:CheckUser works on recentchanges (like Special:Recentchanges itself and Special:Watchlist), which is the only table containing an IP field. Deleted edits are removed from the recent changes while deleted (and do not go back to it while undeleting); Special:Deletedconribs and Special:Undelete work on archive.
