Well, first of all, I just took a wild guess that it could be fixperms
involved, because of the background (there's no problem under fakeroot,
only with sudo). Any idea about that? Why would dh_install under sudo
put a file in the package tree that isn't owned by root?
As far as -X goes, that behaviour is actually documented, gosh. Is there a
version of -X which does an exact match?

cdbs does that, yes.
