Re: env[HOME] issues



The issue seems to be in your upstream's setup.py, not in debhelper as
you suggest.

You cannot rely on a home directory being present on the buildds and
should not write anything to it if it exists.

The correct fix in this case would to be send upstream a patch so that
it building does not touch $HOME nor ~/ in any way.

A workaround in this case would probably be to create an empty
directory and set $HOME to that while running the upstream build
scripts.

PS: I'd suggest using the new status pages, the ones you linked to are
going away soon:
