I couldn't find a description in (a brief scan of) debian-policy that
specifically describes what a daemon's home directory should be.  I do
see that adduser --system says it will create a home directory using
the same rules as for normal users, and I see that most of the system
users on my natty box seem to have been set up that way.

So I'd be in favour of an updated patch that just deletes the --home
option altogether.
