Hi
The `Rules-Requires-Root` field is only applicable to packages that uses
the default `Build-Driver` (known as `debian-rules`). If a Source stanza
of `debian/control` has another value, then `Rules-Requires-Root` serves
no purpose.
Accordingly, hints like `silent-on-rules-requiring-root` should not be
emitted. Instead, a `rules-do-not-require-root` would be emitted by
default for unknown `Build-Driver` values.
Best regards,
Niels
