Yes, I read the document (following a link from lintian), and no, I was not able to figure out. (BTW: The document speaks about "the builder", who is exactly this mysterious character? dpkg-deb? sbuild? the person doing the build?) > (Briefly checking it now again, I think it should spell out dpkg-deb's > --root-owner-group option on the prototyping/preparation section.) Ok, I see it now. So, I should use Rules-Requires-Root: no and also add --root-owner-group to the "dpkg --build" call, right? Should I also add a versioned build-depends on dpkg-dev? Thanks.
