Hi Alexandre,

During influxdb installation, the following warning is displayed:

[…]
Warning: The home dir /var/lib/influxdb you specified can't be accessed: 
No such file or directory
[…]

The root cause is pretty obvious, adduser tries to set influxdb user
home before it ever exist. There are many ways to fix that issue, for 
example we could create the necessary directory before calling adduser 
in the post-installation script, removing the “--no-create-home” from 
adduser call, etc. In the attached patches, you’ll see that I chose 
another solution that involves using debhelper’s facilities.

Additionaly, you’ll find patches (0003* and 0004*) handling 
/var/log/influxdb creation using the same method.

Thanks for maintaining influxdb!

Cheers,
Vincent
