Hi,

imo the latter approach is better, because the advantage of using
/homeless-shelter is that you can clearly see it in error log if the
package you're building tries to use the HOME. If it was just /, we
would lose the ability to tell why the package chose to access something
under root of the filesystem - is it accessing a hard coded path or
accessing $HOME?
