Issue
the home value in pyvenv.cfg is inconsistent when generated by venv and virtualenv :
$ python3.10 -m venv venv
$ grep home venv/pyvenv.cfg
home = /usr/bin
vs
$ virtualenv --python python3.10 virtualenv
created virtual environment CPython3.10.0.final.0-64 in 114ms

$ grep home virtualenv/pyvenv.cfg
home = /usrhome is:
/usr/bin with venv/usr̀ with virtualenv.
I would expect to have the same value (/usr/bin).
ref
the value of the home key is the directory containing the Python executable used to create this virtual environment
Environment
Provide at least:
- OS: ubuntu 21.10
pip list of the host python where virtualenv is installed:
