OK, so I've been doing some digging and it looks like the reason for the above is because we need to fool epm (and dpkg et. al.) into thinking we are root in order to correctly build the DEB packages.
The problem is that this is really, really system specific and even OS version specific. Most Linux have 'fakeroot' which is the canonical (no pun intended) way of doing this. Sooooo I'll be patching trunk (and AOO42X) to look for 'fakeroot' and use that if available. If not, then we takes our chances w/ getuid.
