Yes, I'd expect that from what the man page says.

Did it not happen in previous versions of pkgadd or was it previous
versions of your package?  Did your other version have a checkinstall
script?

My assumption is that it's a security measure to prevent checkinstall
from doing anything it wanted to.  I'm just guessing from reading the
man page, though.

I don't know of any way.  What are you trying to do with checkinstall
that you need root access?  There might be a way around it.
