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.

Package installations need to be done as root.


Please elobare what the use case is here?

I don't think the package would benefit if we'd litter the maintainer scripts with id checks.
