sbuild. You should be able to reproduce the problem with pbuilder as well. Just
set HOME to something non-existent before starting the build.

That's not a bug in LyX. You just have to take care of programs using $HOME
during the build process.

Yes, you just need a $HOME that lyx can use. Any writable directory should do.
You can have a look at the packaging of ipython for an example:

lines 13 and 29
