Hmm, me thinks Jonas mistook r269 for something else. :)

What intrigues me is that dh_testroot does (almost) just that:
if ($< != 0) {
error("You must run this as root (or use fakeroot).");
}
Why would one work but not the other?
Notice that dh_testroot tests for the *real* UID, while buildcore.mk
tests for the *effective* UID. Does this explain the discrepancy?
(What does "id -ru" return for you?)
