Hi Please see attached as a patch.I intend to NMU to make progress on the MBF if I do not hear from you on this. It would help me if you either uploaded this soon or approved the NMU (enabling me to skip the delay). Thanks in advance.
Note: I also included a hint from Multi-Arch hinter, since it was a low hanging fruit.
This package can probably come truly rootless if the upstream makefile could be convinced to not pass `-o root -g root` to `install`. A common trick here is to use `-o $(USER) -g $(GROUP)` and then have the Debian package substitute USER/GROUP with `id -u`/`id -g` (which is a noop but allowed) and then rely on `dh_fixperms` + `dh_builddeb` to build the package with the correct ownership. However, it is was not a minimal patch, so I skipped that for the NMU.
Best regards, Niels
