I searched lots of scripting FAQs but didn't find a way to find the location of home dir. The problem is that when the postinst script runs, it runs as root and $HOME variable contains /root not /home. Should I just abandon that idea and post in documentation that my software needs manual configuration after install? Is it against Debian rules to ask the user to enter a directory path in the postinst script?
