#759980 winff: FTBFS when HOME set to non-existent directory

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part (hopefully):
http://aws-logs.debian.net/ftbfs-logs/2014/08/30/winff_1.5.3-4_unstable.log

A list of current common problems and possible solutions is available at
http://wiki.debian.org/qa.debian.org/FTBFS . You're welcome to contribute!

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on EC2 VM instances from
Amazon Web Services, using a clean, minimal and up-to-date chroot. Every
failed build was retried once to eliminate random failures. The build
was done with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS="parallel=4", so if your packaging tries
to support this, it might be a good idea to explore whether this might
be the cause of the failure.

I just did a rebuild only of winff in a clean chroot and I am not able
to reproduce the build failure. Going through the log, I do spot some
differences in packages that are installed and I spot that the rebuild
by you pulls in less packages, but they are apparently installed, so I
guess my chroot is "cleaner" than yours.

make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/buildd/winff-1.5.3'
soffice --headless --convert-to pdf --outdir docs docs/WinFF.*.od?
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!
Warning: failed to read path from javaldx

/tmp/buildd/winff-1.5.3/docs/WinFF.nl.pdf using writer_pdf_Export

So it seems that your build has a Java Runtime Environment installed
where my chroot does not. I think that the libreoffice team will be
interested in the rootcause of this, but I don't think it is fair to say
that winff FTBFS. The problem is that I couldn't spot what the
difference between your setup and mine is with respect to a JRE, I
couldn't find it in the list of packages in the "Build Environment".

For completeness sake and so that others can also verify what I am
saying, I have attached my build log as well.
