Yes and no:
The Debian makefile that does the build (debian/rules), does:
export HOME=$(CURDIR)/junkhome
This fixed a ftbfs in the past as the old testsuite assumed the buildd's
user home existed, was writable and useful.
We can't assume all of that in the Debian autobuilders, which is why I set
home to a directory that can be written by the build process. This has
worked until this version, if I'm not mistaken.
