There's nothing wrong in dpkg-buildpackage. The "build" target is called _without_ root rights. Only the clean and binary target are supposed to have root rights. However your build target depends on binary-src and binary-src contains the call "chown -R root.root $(TMPSRC)". You should arrange your build system to have the operations that require root to be called when debian/rules binary is called and not when debian/rules build is called.
