systemd-homed provides a new way of managing, roaming and encryption of Users Homedirectorys and it looks promising. At the Moment if a User is created by salt using user.present the only method of creating the user is using the "classic style" .
Also if a user is created using homectl manualy, it is in conflict with the user.present function and the function will create the user again if it has been migrated to systemd-homed.

Describe the solution you'd like
Systemd-homed looks very promising in fixing many "Enterprise needs" be it Encryption or Roaming Homedirectorys and in my humble opinion it could get the Standard in the Future, i like the Classic Homedir way of working, but for certain Setups systemd-homed makes life easier and makes sense, thus providing it using Salt would be great.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual Management
