But that also affects the other options, right? Sounds like a second
problem to me, or did you want to solve both together?

About the subdomain homedir, I think we should:
    1) revert the original patch that is commited
    2) fix the IPA server mode the way you described in your reply to
       Pavel's mail
    3) Amend the subdomain_homedir documentation so that it's clear
       where the option has effect
