Same messages for me here at Debian stable in yellow:

These messages occur at start, when no human user is logged in.  It's 
difficult to see how a nonhuman user can meaningfully have all those 
special directories. A repair is needed. Raising severity because more 
than one user is affected.

Gratefully,
