I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but adding users via adduser(8) or pw(8) without the directory and symlink in existance results in "mkdir (/home/xxx): No such file or directory", making the newly created user account unusable. Therefor I'm suggesting that bsdinstall creates /usr/home and the /home symlink in any case, regardless if users are added or not.
