[Bug 2003526] [NEW] package cephadm postinst fails when non-standard $HOME

[Erik Braun]

Public bug reported:

The postinst script of cephadm fails when the $HOME of the user cephadm is not located in /home.
Instead of using a hard coded path, the entry from `getent passwd cephadm` should be used.
