Dear maintainer,
While reviewing packages for potential issues with `Rules-Requires-Root:
no` as default, this package was deemed at risk of having an issue.
However, when rebuild on the testing infrastructure it FTBFS for an
unrelated reason.
The concern when manually reviewing the package is that this package
uses `dpkg-deb -b` inside its `debian/rules` without `--root-group-
owner`. This means it will either silently misbuild (having non-root
ownership) or FTBFS (if there is a chown call somewhere).
Please review how the package behaves with `Rules-Requires-Root: no` and
patch it to support `Rules-Requires-Root: no` if possible. Otherwise,
please set `Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets` instead.
this is not something I intend to address for trixie, and from my point
of view such changes don't belong in the distro around two months before
a freeze.
does this mean, that adding --root-owner-group to the dpkg-deb calls
will also address this issue?
