It looks like the fix in rpm in Debian is to use bash instead of dash, so the fallback from $HOME to ~ works if $HOME is not set.

I'm not sure if this particular fix is appropriate for Trusty as the rpm package doesn't currently depend on bash. Incidentally, shouldn't the fix in Debian have included the new dependency?

A "getent passwd" based solution might be better just for the SRU, since it's provided by libc-bin which is an "Essential: yes" package.

Anyway, just my thoughts. Someone will still need to prepare a suitable SRU, etc.
