That's certainly a good thing to do.

I'm wondering a bit why the warning shows up at all. Are the files
owned by a different user than who's executing dpkg? (If that is
happening, maybe it points to sbuild doing a weird thing?)
Or does dpkg always show this if the owner is not uid 0? (Then
calling it a day is exactly the right thing.)
