The tar command preserves ownership and permissions. The UID (not the name)
is used for this. So the UIDs on the builder's system point to different
usernames on your system. Don't worry about it. If you like, you can do
this to the directory created when you extracted the tarball:
chown -R root.root comanche-xxx
