Created new user from a non-root account (using root password prompt within
non-root account).
Started that new user.
Tried to read files from /home of first user.
Succeeded.

This is not an error, works as designed.  You can "dpkg-reconfigure adduser"
to change this behaviour for newly added users (ie, not the first one),
existing users' homes need manual chmodding.

What about sane defaults? It could also be dpkg-reconfigured the other way around.

Best regards.
