While the concrete error could have been avoided by removing `-o root -g root` to the `install` commands, the package eventually performs chown'ing for non-root (static ownership). This requires root with the current `dpkg` and `debhelper` stack. Accordingly, mark the package as needing root for now and close this bug.
