Bug#351729: noexec home directory policy

[Billy Biggs]

  It is unclear to me whether a noexec policy on the /home partition is
a reasonable thing to do except in very controlled environments.  For
example, any software downloaded from the net would not run when
installed, and plugins for applications such as firefox, or downloaded
Eclipse plugins, unless carefully installed globally, would also fail to
run.

  However, see Eclipse bug 90535 for some discussion on solutions for
having an install program to globally pre-extract any embedded executables
from OSGi bundles.
