owners/groups no, the build doesn't check that anymore. permissions do
get checked though. I'm not sure how useful that is anymore but it's
still a restriction (though I suppose it does help find silly modes
if files in the proto area become unreadable by yourself :)

Norm has some changes that extract the permissions from the packages
and fixes up the proto area. That might be worth looking at.
