Hi. I don't think this is correct.

The intent is for those directories to be list:list inside the .deb,
and a postinst can't change what is inside the .deb.

The orthodox fix here is to use "Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets"

(If there is a build failure, it's because "no" has become the default,
but maintainers can still use a value different than "no").

Thanks.
