Well, I guess it's not a good idea to build this package as root then... :) I can't justify keeping this bug at RC severity, though. This clearly doesn't have any usability or data loss impact on users, it doesn't /fail/ to build, and while this might be considered data loss of a sort when building, it's not the common case to build as root and I would suggest that it's generally not advisable to do so with any package. (If the package is put together right, this isn't even happening in one of the as-root targets, so even using -rsudo should be ok, yes?) So, downgrading, though obviously we should want to see this fixed.
