  I'm not the maintainer, so I'm not sure if there is any chance
 of changing screen/screen upstream to have a new build dependency.
 If there is then that is obviously preferred.

  If not then the patch as-is would work and isn't terribly invasive.
 (I'm sure that it could be improved and also applied to other
 primitives - but I didn't do that.)  The worst case I can see is
 if either $HOME isn't defined, or ~non-existant/ is used - both
 of which will revert back to using the non-expanded version which
 seems reasonable to me..
