The DejaGNU testsuite was withdrawn more than nine years ago,
on 2011-11-28 (prior to mailtils version 2.99.96).  The related
authentication code hasn't changed since 2007-12-03.  These two facts
incline me to believe that it is rather the practice of resetting
the HOME variable that should be fairly recent in Debian.

That being said, I would propose the attached patch.  Does it help
in any way?

Sergey
