It does. I ran into this with basically every GNOME package before I
realised I could make scrollkeeper-update SUID. The main problems are
the Scrollkeeper log file, and a temporary file scrollkeeper-update
puts in the top level of /var/lib/scrollkeeper . I managed to work
around the other problems by making /var/lib/scrollkeeper/{TOC,index}
install dirs. But that temp file was always stressful, and I found
making scrollkeeper-update SUID a better solution (insofar as I didn't
end up with every build bailing out because of the /same file/).
And now I think of it, you can limit scrollkeeper-update to being used
by install users by adjusting it's permissions so:
chgrp install $(which scrollkeeper-update) && chmod o-rx $(which
scrollkeeper-update)
