No no.

I think you found a genuine bug: ‘useradd’ (which creates the home dirs)
is invoked typically during boot, at a time where /home is not mounted
yet.  Thus, it probably created the home directory on the root file
system.

There’s no trivial fix, though.  Could you email that to
address@hidden so we keep track of it?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
