Hi Please see attached as a patch.I intend to NMU to make progress on the MBF if I do not hear from you on this. It would help me if you either uploaded this soon or approved the NMU (enabling me to skip the delay). Thanks in advance.
This package can probably come truly rootless if the upstream makefile could be convinced to not pass `root` to `chown`. A common trick here is to use `$(USER):$(GROUP)` and then have the Debian package substitute USER/GROUP with `id -u`/`id -g` (which is a noop but allowed) and then rely on `dh_fixperms` + `dh_builddeb` to build the package with the correct ownership. However, it is was not a minimal patch, so I skipped that for the NMU.
Best regards, Niels
