Hi!
The package cannot be upgraded from (at least) 1:10.3.0-4, while the
daemon is running. During unpack it fails with:

Changes:

.
* [dirs]
+ Add empty /usr/lib/dhcpcd to avoid breaking upgrades (Closes: #1124734).
* [sysusers]
= Revert to /usr/lib/dhcpcd as home directory. Our unpriviledged user can
accommodate any path, apparently, so might as well keep the old one.
