One more question on this: Does homed only handle user sessions for
users created with homed? Or can any userdb backend provide a user
record exposing a "storage" section, and systemd-homed will handle
this user as well?

In other words: Can I use data from my own userdb backend to make
homed start managing the home directory for this user?
