vince@guixsd ~/guix-packages$ grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:997::/var/empty:/gnu/store/7cdd8s466qyjh64m0byq0rz9gk1jid40-bash-4.3.42/bin/bash

On my debian, this user is left out the door:

$ grep nobody /etc/passwd
nobody:x:65534:65534:nobody:/nonexistent:/usr/sbin/nologin

Even its HOME directory is non existent, purposedly...

Is this not a security risk (greater attack surface) or something like that ?
