This isn't a good idea. Someone misinterpreted the "root" at the end of
the %{buildroot} as meaning *user* root instead of buildroot. Next thing
some people replaced the -root suffix with calls to id, and the last
generation not knowing what the original thought was considered doing both
is the safest, so now there are sometimes even -root-`id -n` suffixes.
It would only make sense to start adding user ids to the buildroot if one
would think of concurrent builds of exactly the same package on one box by
different users, which is unlikely. And if one would want to target
multiple concurrent builds on one system, you wouldn't want to restrict
that on multiple users, but multiple processes anyway, so you would better
use the pid or mktemp to disambiguate concurrent builds of the same
package."
