My best guess would be that for some reason, one should not take it for granted that $HOME is set, so not setting it on the Debian build daemons allows to detect code that assumes it is set (at build/test time), and as a result improve free software as a whole. Cc'ing the Debian Perl group in the hope that someone in there has a better answer or pointers to the relevant documentation.
