I have uploaded a package yesterday. That package does not have any

The builds all fail, as described here:

and I do not understand why.
Any soul to help me with this question?
I have just stumbled on the same while building a new package with
javahelper:
install: cannot change owner and permissions of
‘debian/_jh_build.lucene9-9.4.2’: Operation not permitted
jh_build: error: install -m0755 -o 0 -g 0 -d
debian/_jh_build.lucene9-9.4.2 returned exit code 1
However, I have no idea why '-o 0 -g 0' options are used. They do not
seem to be used before.

Long story short:
* Bug in fakeroot (#1023286 + #1024544)
* Me thinking it was a bug in debhelper so I tried to fix it
(which did not work and broke on the way in)
* Me realizing it was a bug in fakeroot and my change did not
even function as a work around, so I undid it (it broke on
the way out as well).
And the winners are: All the people that have (and are) able to use
"Rules-Requires-Root: no" as packages with that flag would have been
completely unaffected by this entire ordeal!
Your options include:
* Migrate to "Rules-Requires-Root: no" if you can
* Ensure you have debhelper (>= 13.11.3~) ("just uploaded") or
debhelper/13.11.1 (or debhelper << 13.11)
I will now go back to looking more at my prototype for getting even more
packages buildable with "Rules-Requires-Root: no".
Thanks,
