I just saw this lintian error popping up at drizzle,
but its postinst already uses --home:

# creating drizzle user if it isn't already there
if ! getent passwd drizzle >/dev/null; then
        # Adding system user: drizzle.
        adduser \
          --system \
          --disabled-login \
          --ingroup drizzle \
          --home $DATADIR \
          --gecos "Drizzle Server" \
          --shell /bin/false \
	  drizzle  >/dev/null
fi

Or is this error meant differently?
