Bug#909821: e2guardian: Minor error messages during installation concerning homedir

[Christian Meyer]

Package: e2guardian
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

There are some minor error messages concerning e2guardians homedir:
/var/log/e2guardian.

I first noticed the error messages installing my own stretch backport (5.2.0),
but is in your stretch backport (5.1.1), too. So I believe it's still in
testing / sid.

Here is the relevant output of
# LANG=C apt install -t stretch-backports e2guardian

Setting up e2guardian (5.1.1-1~bpo9+1) ...
Warning: The home dir /var/log/e2guardian you specified already exists.

The home directory `/var/log/e2guardian' already exists.  Not copying from
`/etc/skel'.
adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/log/e2guardian' does not belong to
the user you are currently creating.

Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/e2guardian.service
-> /lib/systemd/system/e2guardian.service.
