Modifying the sources brings troubles in the devtool command. Therefore it is
better to patch the source with a custom variable, and later replace it with the
correct root path.

+Subject: [PATCH] sysusers.d: Change the user root's home directory
+
+The default sysusers basic.conf.in file sets the root home directory to `/root`
+and does not permit its configuration. Change this to `:ROOT_HOME:` which must
+be set before the installation.
+
+The upstream considers the root home directory should not be changed
+<https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/27959>

+Upstream-Status: Denied
