I see this is fixed in Whonix/Kicksecure which they are like hardened
debian, One for anonymity (whonix), and one for clearnet (KickSecure). I
doubt any distro fixed/hardened that.
Maybe this is interesting:

Georgi Guninski:
On Debian /home/loser is with permissions 755, default umask 0022
(If you don't understand the numbers, this means a lot of
files are world readable).
On multiuser machines this sucks much.
Question: How much sensitive data can be read on default install?
Partial results:
1. mutt (text email client) exposes ~/.mutt/muttrc,
which might contain the imap password in plaintext.
2. Some time ago on a multiuser debian mirror we found a lot of data,
including the wordpress password of the admin.
3. Anything created by EDITOR NEWFILE is readable, unless the directory
prevents. This include root doing EDITOR /etc/NEWFILE
Debian said won't fix:
