Regress jumps from root to non-root in a very inconsistent way. It
could be improved, but that would be a lot of work. The result
will not be perfect as tests have very different needs for permissions.
So I would recommend to leave it as it is unless someone volunteers
to refactor all the tests.
If a test creates a file as root with an ugly ${SUDO} hack, it
should use the same hack to clean it. Then the test is self
contained. Care should be taken that the make clean hack does not
affect the make build.
So I like espie@'s suggestion to try rm first without ${SUDO} for
people running make build, and then with ${SUDO} for people who
have left overs from testing.
