There's probably a more subtle fix that preserves more functionality (eg. maybe updating the hwdb in PKG_ROOT?), what ever gets the post install to not fail in this scenario works for me.Package installations need to be done as root.I don't think the package would benefit if we'd litter the maintainer scripts with id checks.Please elobare what the use case is here?
I notice that you filed multiple bugs against various packages [1].I don't think this is particularly helpful as long as dpkg doesn't officially support installations as non-root.
If you want to allow non-root installations, then this needs to be discussed with the dpkg maintainer and ideally on debian-devel. While this might be a laudable goal, my guess is that with the way packages are built today, this is not (easily) possible.
Anyway, this needs discussion first, before you actually start such a mass bug filing
