What I wrote wasn't clear and wasn't strictly true, sorry!

When manually building from source:

You always build/test as a normal user.
You install as either root or normal user, depending on the install prefix.

When doing Debian package builds:

You always build/test as a normal user.
You always install using fakeroot.
