Title:
  asks about irc user home directory during upgrade

Status in base-passwd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrading from groovy to hirsuite, base-passwd asks if the `irc`
  user's home directory should be moved from `/var/run/ircd` to
  `/run/ircd`.  Having no IRC server installed makes this very
  confusing, but appears harmless
  (https://askubuntu.com/questions/876975/user-irc-inside-of-default-
  ubuntu-16-04-server).  Possibly caused by https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
  bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946884, but can this not prompt the user for a
  decision?
