Do we have any package definitions that write to '/home/$USER'? I would
rather we didn't do that as a side effect of installing the package.
It's really the responsibility of the packaged software to set this up
when the user first runs it. If it can't, the user can copy the
"template" state files from '/gnu/store/...-nethack/whatever' into their
home directory.
Have you asked the NetHack maintainers for advice?
