Can you tell me why root is required here?

I'm not very well versed in this new stanza, but I fail to find any
usage of root (equivalents) during build.  Also the previous uploads
with "Rules-Requires-Root: no" built just fine both here and on the buildds.

Documentation is here:
/usr/share/doc/dpkg-dev/rootless-builds.txt.gz

Other uses in Debian may be found e.g. with this query:
