Rationale: A users home directory may hold .ssh/authorized_keys and thus allow users to login without password. Thus our company has a check for those files because an unclean authorized_keys can be a big security issue. This check fails if a home directory doesn't exist. We can try to fix the check but as I stated the expectation is, that a freshly installed system wouldn't have any wrongly setup passwd file.

If systemd-resolve has a volatile home directory I expect this directory to be created at boot time. It seems that there is no regression test before release that makes sure that no such errors are reported.
