Until 14.04 it was no problem to depend on existence of ${DESTDIR}/root for writing files, e.g. ssh public keys, scripts etc. From 16.04 a random home dir for root is used. Enclosed script contains an ugly workaround. Feature request: Please provide a variable for hooks which contains path to root home dir.
