[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#1026213: Bug#1026213: login: $HOME created as 0755 by default

[Mason Loring Bliss]

This would violate POLA and break, among other things already noted, things
like fingerd, which wants to run with least-privilege but still access
.plan and .project files.

Security is a process and requires conscious thought by an administrator,
and default permissions on home directories are no different and easily
tailored away from the expected defaults.
