Package: pxe
Version: 1.4.2-7
Severity: normal

Hi,

the pxe package creates a dummy user with

Debian-pxe:x:101:65534:Dummy user for Debian pxe 
package,,,:/home/Debian-pxe:/bin/false

Please don't use /home for this as this collides with having home
shared over NFS or automounted.

Most packages use /var/lib/package or /var/run/package (nowadays
/run/package) for their home staying out of the way of the real users homes.
