112cfb1814 tried to improve handling of
paths when root is specified. It said:

Of course, other users were added later and for example now
SYSTEMD_HOSTNAME_WORDLIST_PATH=build/hostname-wordlist/ ... doesn't
work as expected. If root is not specified, there is really no reason
to ignore relative paths. They work relative to CWD per the usual convention.
It's up to the user to not use relative paths in a context where they
should not be used. When root is specified, continue to ignore the relative
paths, since there is no clear interpreation what they mean, but emit
a debug message.
