Hello,

I dig a little bit in the debian documentation, and I found this snipset
in the section 9.2 of securing-debian-howto [1]

It is interesting to see the code used to create a system user.
But the step 4 bother me

       usermod -c "$SERVER_NAME" \
               -d $SERVER_HOME   \
               -g $SERVER_GROUP  \
                  $SERVER_USER

So it seems that this code update silently the user home during the package 
installation.

Is it a good practice ?
