Title:
  base-passwd does not really provide options to specify home folder for
  irc user when launching from GUI

Status in base-passwd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in debconf package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Have Ubuntu 20.10 installed, boot it
  2. Install all updates and run upgrade to 21.04 using graphical `update-manager -cd` command
  3. Wait for the "Configuring base-passwd" window to appear with a question (!)

      Do you want to change the home directory of user irc?

  Expected results:
  * the interface asks user a question, user is able to answer this question in GUI window

  Actual results:
  * user is unable to answer the question, only can click the Help (useless) and/or Next (does not respect the answer from user) buttons.
