Why is it putting "daemon setup information" in /root in the first
place?  Surely that should go in /etc or some such place.

Also, the choice of where root's home directory goes is a distro
decision and, in the general case, it is not correct to say that "OE
uses /home/root".  Changing the hardcoded value from one thing to
another is probably not that much of an improvement overall.
