Sure, I was not arguing against that ;). The fix now always prefers the home of the actually existing mini-buildd user, even over a previously set debconf value. As an extra, this also handles manual (not via debconf) changes to the mini-buildd user gracefully. Such a move/copy on upgrade could now only happen in case the debconf value is explicitly changed.
