   I don’t know what Bobby is referring to, but the AppArmor configuration   
   in Debian needs to know where home directories are, so if you have a   
   home directory in an unusual location then some applications won’t work   
   properly.  So it could be something like that.   
      
   In the specific case of AppArmor there’s a configuration file where you   
   can easily add additional locations. Other mandatory access control   
   systems may have similar properties but I know even less about them than   
   AppArmor.
