Title:
  module mkhomedir does not create home directory

Status in pam package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  for all systems where the outermost directory isn't /home (or an
  existing directory) the current mkhomedir does not work due to a bug
  fixed in this commit:

  https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-
  pam/commit/ee204e9914be30c0b4462aefa1f4d45aa1068c0a

  applying just this patch to the current source package fixes the
  issue.

  can we have this patch included to restore functionality?
