8 If your package uses that directory, I would recommend you not rely on
9 it being created (with special permissions) as a side effect of
10 installing the acct-user package:

14 That used to be acceptable, since the "enewuser" command with the home
15 directory was part of the package that used that directory. But now that
16 the user data are in another package, we can't depend on them reliably.
