For package builds, Debian has the following policy 

    https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-source.html#main-building-script-debian-rules

in particular

    Required targets must not attempt to write outside of the unpacked
    source package tree. There are two exceptions. Firstly, the binary
    targets may write the binary packages to the parent directory of the
    unpacked source package tree. Secondly, required targets may write
    to /tmp, /var/tmp and to the directory specified by the TMPDIR
    environment variable, but must not depend on the contents of any of
    these.

    This restriction is intended to prevent source package builds
    creating and depending on state outside of themselves, thus
    affecting multiple independent rebuilds. In particular, the required
    targets must not attempt to write into HOME.

Some additional byte compilation happens at package install time. In my
view the same restrictions should apply there. In addition to the
unintentional sharing of state mentioned in policy, there is also the
issue of cleaning up after a package on uninstall. This is manageable
now because any generated .elc files go in a package specific directory,
which can just be removed on purging the package.

I think just turning off native compilation when HOME is not writeable
would be sensible from a Debian point of view. Emacs did not previously
require a writable HOME (although maybe most users never tested
this). It would be unfortunate if this changed for Emacs with native
compilation support.
