Right, but the 'binary' target is run as root. ,---- Policy 4.8 | The `fakeroot' package often allows one to build a package correctly | even without being root. `---- Here, Policy implies that fakeroot may not *always* work. Perhaps Policy should be updated to stipulate that the only root privileges you can actually rely on relate to the metadata stored in data.tar.gz.
