No, the problem does not originate by using the root account. But you
simply shoul not use the root account in any case. Please do not do
this since it might lead to unwanted side effects (like by chance
installing code onto your local machine instead into the packaging dir
if you have not properly designed the packaging yet).

Yes, that was actually the problem. I'd suggest you can remove the part
override_dh_auto_install:
dh_auto_install
from d/rules now since it does nothing.

OK, fine for me. It was just a recommendation.

I confirm that it looks good and besides the following nitpicking it is
ready for upload:
1. d/README.source: I have no idea what you want to tell the reader here
Since d/watch shows where the source is originated from I do not see
what the additional info from where it was forked should help. If you
would say:
The orginal software at location X had <name some interesting features>
but was forked for the following reasons <name some reasons> at
location Y
this would give the reader some background.
2. d/changelog: I'd delete all items except of "* Initial release"
Future releases will mention changes from our first upload but as long
as there is not initial release there are also no changes compared to
this
3. d/rules: I'd prefer to delete unneeded stuff from this file. Please
leave only those comments which might be helpful for the further
maintenance of the package
Once these simple items are done I'll upload the package.
Thanks for your good work on this and feel free to keep on working
at your final target
Andreas.
