Upgrading from groovy to hirsuite, base-passwd asks if the `irc` user's home directory should be moved from `/var/run/ircd` to `/run/ircd`. Having no IRC server installed makes this very confusing, but appears harmless (https://askubuntu.com/questions/876975/user-irc-inside-of-default-ubuntu-16-04-server). Possibly caused by https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946884, but can this not prompt the user for a decision?

[Test Case]
1) On an Ubuntu 20.10 system edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to have hirsute instead of groovy
2) Run apt-get update
3) Execute 'sudo apt-get install base-passwd'
With the version of base-passwd you'll receive a prompt about moving the 'irc' user's home directory from '/var/run/ircd' to '/run/ircd'.

[Test Case]
1) On an Ubuntu 20.10 system edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file to have hirsute instead of groovy (this is the easiest way to verify the fix because the release upgrade process disables -proposed)
2) Run apt-get update
3) Execute 'sudo apt-get install base-passwd'
With the version of base-passwd in the release component you'll receive a prompt about moving the 'irc' user's home directory from '/var/run/ircd' to '/run/ircd'.
With the version of base-passwd from -proposed you will not receive a prompt and will instead see the following dpkg message:
"Changing home-directory of irc from /var/run/ircd to /run/ircd"
[Where Problems Could Occur]
In the event that there is a logical error when checking for the irc user and its old home directory being /var/run/ircd a debconf prompt may not be presented when it really should be.
