Package: bogofilter
Version: 0.94.14-2
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

The most recent version of bogofilter fails to build on all architectures
with the following error:

[...]
 debian/rules build
test -f debian/rules
install -p -d -o root -g root  -m  755 obj-db obj-tdb obj-qdbm obj-sqlite
install: cannot change owner and/or group of j-db': Operation not permitted
install: cannot change owner and/or group of j-tdb': Operation not permitted
install: cannot change owner and/or group of j-qdbm': Operation not permitted
install: cannot change owner and/or group of j-sqlite': Operation not permitted
make: *** [configure-stamp] Error 1
[...]

A full build log can be found at
<http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?pkg=bogofilter&arch=arm&ver=0.94.14-2&stamp=1119101604&file=log>
et al.

This is caused by the use of $(INSTALL_DIR), defined as "$(INSTALL) -p -d -o
root -g root  -m  755", in a dependency of the build target.  The build
target must not depend on root (or fakeroot) privileges for proper operation.
