Dear maintainer:

During a rebuild of all packages in unstable, your package failed to build:

Hi,

With 90% probability this can be fixed by removing the offending `-o root -g root` parts from the `install` commands from `debian/rules`. It was redundant at best before rootless builds and after, it becomes an FTBFS bug.

If that does not solve the FTBFS problem here, then it is because the build chains into an upstream build system that also does chown'ing. In this case, adding `Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets` to the source stanza of `debian/control` will work around the problem and enable the bug to be closed.

Tagging patch, since the above instructions will solve this bug.

Best regards,
Niels
