The /home directory might be needed by packages that inherit useradd.bbclass.
One example is the 'xuser-account' recipe.

Previously, we patched the shadow package to change the behaviour of the
'--create-home' option. This is not appropriate. Instead, we should let
the base-files package also stage the /home directory.
