Descripción

**Describe the bug**

I have a ostree-based distribution on my host and use the same distribution in distrobox.

The distrobox contains a symlink from /home to var/home (as does the system outside!). Distrobox mounts my home dir into /var/home/distrobox as expected. When just using the generated container without triggering `distrobox-init` the container works well. `distrobix-init` is not happy though: It tries to bind mount `/run/host/var/home/USER` to `/home/USER` and gets a bit confused :-)

**To Reproduce**

Use e.g. bluefin on your host and use a bluefin-image as image for a distrobox.

**Expected behavior**

This works:-)

**Logs**

Not necessary...

**Desktop (please complete the following information):**

- I am using podman 5.7.0
- distrobox is at 1.8.2.2
- The distribution is bluefin, based on fedora 43 and a home-made build of the same distribution inside distrobox
- It is in the default install.

**Additional context**

This fixes the issue for me:
