I can't parse this, sorry.
I can only guess that you *might* be referring to the situation where,
by accident or design, you leave a separate /home partition unmounted
while installing Debian on the root partition. On rebooting, d-i will
be found to have placed /home/<first-user>/{.bash_logout,.bashrc,.profile}
in / but it's a simple matter to boot single/recovery, move/remove
<first-user>/{.bash_logout,.bashrc,.profile} (if they offend you), and
mount your home partition on the now empty /home (adjusting fstab to suit).
If that's not the case, please ignore the above rather than
re-expounding what you really meant.

I don't know the expression "alaskan divorce". Could it be where you
walk from the divorce court straight back to the registry office to
get re-married?
Cheers,
David.
