bug#24275: Misnamed directory in GuixSD

BTW,

I think this may be related to this subject, so...

I've found some user account (other than nobody)
that have /var/empty as their home directory, f.e.:

gnu/services/networking.scm:301

(define %ntp-accounts
  (list (user-account
         (name "ntpd")
         (group "nogroup")
         (system? #t)
         (comment "NTP daemon user")
         (home-directory "/var/empty")
         (shell #~(string-append #$shadow "/sbin/nologin")))))

Is that a glitch, and they can be moved to /nonexistent or do
they really require an existing directory to work ?
