If you deliver anything into a filesystem other than /usr, or touch such files in class-action or other package scripts, then you probably need a root package - consult the gatekeepers if you are unsure how to proceed. and of course the build attempts to catch this so we don't have a mad scramble when trying to deliver the packages to RE weeks later.
