Probably the easiest solution would be to exit early from the post
install if the current user is not root. There's probably a more subtle
fix that preserves more functionality (eg. maybe updating the hwdb in
PKG_ROOT?), what ever gets the post install to not fail in this
scenario works for me.

current Debian policy and Josch outlined other alternatives how this might
be achieved.
