Sorry, I don't know how to fix it, but I guess it's related with the special
handling
of HOME in debhelper 13:
HOME, XDG_*
In compat 13 and later, these environment variables are reset
before invoking the upstream build system
via the dh_auto_* helpers. The variables HOME (all dh_auto_*
helpers) and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (dh_auto_test
only) will be set to a writable directory. All remaining variables
and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (except for during
dh_auto_test) will be cleared.
The HOME directory will be created as an empty directory but it will
be reused between calls to dh_auto_*.
Any content will persist until explicitly deleted or dh_clean.
Not sure if this will help.
Thanks.
