adduser 3.123 (in Debian) changed the default mode for normal users
(DIR_MODE) from 0755 to 0700. The default mode for system user
(SYS_DIR_MODE) stayed untouched at 0755. See [1] and [2] for a
reasoning.
Ubuntu on the other hand has been using mode 0750 for normal and system
users for a long time.
I like to have the same default permissions on Debian and Ubuntu for
consistency reasons. Can we adopt the default permission from Debian or
should we start a discussion in Debian to change their DIR_MODE to 0750?
