Public bug reported:
I noticed, that the package "tomcat9" creates a new user called tomcat.
This is fine, but there is a problem. The home directory in /etc/passwd is /
(root), which is supposed to be wrong. Older versions, like "tomcat8", do have
/var/lib/tomcat8 as it's own home directory.
This should be corrected, as a single user shouldn't have / as home
directory.
Steps to reproduce:
apt-get install tomcat9
check /etc/passwd for home directory of tomcat user
