Any suggestions for providing a uniform path for AFS homedirs that can be
used with software like sssd's homedir_template for users like ours, who
have complicated paths for their AFS home?  Unfortunately, I have little
control over how volumes are mounted in the cell I use.

The only other thing I can think of is to instead create a symlink in
/home, but that might cause issues.
