Ah. :) Ok let's try to see whether the current spec/doc is enough or whether it'd need improvements. So it would be great if you could go over /usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/rootless-builds.txt.gz and see whether you can figure it out with just that? Also assuming you were not aware of that doc, where do you think it could have been referred from so that it would be easy to get to? (Briefly checking it now again, I think it should spell out dpkg-deb's --root-owner-group option on the prototyping/preparation section.) Thanks, Guillem
