[Pkg-kde-extras] kmymoney 0.8.2 build dependency on $(HOME) directory

[Mark Purcell]

When building kmymoney2, there appears to be a configure dependency on the 
using doing the build having a home directory.

This is OK for individual users building the package, but is playing havoc 
with such things as the buildd for the 11 architectures which Debian 
supports.

Can the upstream kmymoney team advise why there is this dependency on the home 
directory being available, and is there an easy work around?
