I've pushed a bug880920-spwhitton branch to the Policy repo for you to review. Aside from a single substantive change explained below, all my commits are rewordings for clarity and readability. My commit messages should explain them. It would be most efficient if you could base new patches on my bug880920-spwhitton branch. Once we are happy with that branch, we can prepare a diff of the whole branch and post that to this bug to seek seconds, and then just merge the branch. > +The builder should set ``DEB_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT`` environment > +variable when calling any of the mandatory targets as defined in > +:ref:`Rules-Requires-Root <s-f-Rules-Requires-Root>`.
