Dear Emacsen maintainers, While practicing some Emacsen packaging and getting assistance from #debian-mentors, I noticed that with "debhelper-compat (=13)" it now sets up a writable $HOME[1]. With this, Emacs with native compilation doesn't need any specially handling during build or test anymore, at least in dh_auto_*. However, currently dh-elpa doesn't use the same set up as dh_auto_*[2] yet, so currently it will still cause failure in targets like dh_elpa_test. Will the team consider to follow the same convention so that $HOME becomes writable? I assume this will also make it possible to drop the EMACS_INHIBIT_AUTOMATIC_NATIVE_COMPILATION related patches.
