Bug#774395: debian-edu-config: the script 09debian-edu-missing-home fails to work with kdm

[Wolfgang Schweer <wschweer@arcor.de>]

Package: debian-edu-config
Version: 1.815
Severity: important
Tags: patch

With kdm in jessie the script doesn't work anymore cause kdm sets 
$HOME=/ before the script is executed.

So users are not informed about a possible reason for the failing login 
and don't get a hint how to solve the problem.

The patch has been tested and committed to git.
