Title:
  usermod change home directory no tilde

Status in shadow package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I believe usermod is in the passwd package.

  Running `sudo usermod -d /home/username username` will result in
  correct terminal output as `username at hostname:~$`

  But running `sudo usermod -d /home/username/ username` will output
  `username@/home/username:~$`, since usermod does not drop the trailing
  forward slash and the string "/home/username/" does not match with
  "/home/username".

  This is a result of tab completion causing the extra forward slash.
  This bug is purely cosmetic.
