mkosi re-creates the $PWD directory structure inside Fedora/CentOS/RHEL/etc. images

[NoisyCoil]

As per title. If mkosi is run from, say, /home/username/tmp/mkosi, then the same directory structure is created inside the image. To reproduce:

$ mkdir -p /home/username/tmp/mkosi && cd /home/username/tmp/mkosi

$ mkosi -d fedora -t directory --bootable no

...

$ ls image
afs  bin  boot  dev  efi  etc  home  lib  lib64  media  mnt  opt  proc  root  run  sbin  srv  sys  tmp  usr  var

$ tree image/home
image/home
└── username
    └── tmp
        └── mkosi

This happens when building Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, Alma Linux and Rocky Linux images. It does not happen when building Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo images. I did not try with other OSes. I tried both v18 and the current main installed with pip.

This seems to be a bug in dnf as I can reproduce with dnf but not with dnf5.

Reported the bug: rpm-software-management/dnf#2011

Let's close this here as the bug has been confirmed in dnf and should be fixed there.
