These are the options in my mind:
* set APT::Sandbox::User to "root", and give up on sandboxing
* add a hook to create a system user with the uid that you like, and
set APT::Sandbox::User to that special user
* add a hook to change the uid of the _apt user to the uid you want
In pbuilder, hooks G are the ones that should be used for this job, to
tweak the chroot right after debootstrap during its creation. For the
first case, you can just inject that option through APTGETOPT (in the
other cases, it's probably a good idea to add a file in the chroot's
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/; see also APTCONFDIR).
