daemon users' $HOMEs?



I have an unclarity about the $HOME of daemon users in hook scripts:

If there is no directory that we could call $HOME for the daemon,
what to do? --no-create-home is definitely needed, and not
specifying --home yields /home/$DAEMON in /etc/passwd, which is
nonexistant. Is that preferred, or should something like
/nonexistant be used instead?

Thanks for any answers or pointers. The policy does not seem to care
about this. And neither does devel-ref state something along the
lines.
