As I said, that's not a real problem. Just uncompress tarballs and
build packages as an ordinary user, not as root.
If you insist that the tarball must be created first, follow Julian's
suggestion and make your package non-native by creating an .orig.tar.gz
tarball (in this case the .diff.gz is typically the debian/* files).
