I have updated the webrev at http://companion.sunfreeware.com/downloads/nonrootwebrev/
with a few extra changes and have a clean build as non-root user. The amanda issue is kind of a non-issue with respect to the non-root work as the files mentioned are not actually put in the package for amanda. The reason for the chmods is that, without them, the files will not install. A directory with 555 permissions cannot be written to and files with 444 permissions cannot be overwritten except by root. My changes get around that problem. In any case, I think these amanda and teTeX details are better fixed in future fixes to clean up issues found by protocmp.
