[PATCH v2] debianize: set DEBIAN_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT default to "no"

['Badrikesh Prusty' via isar-users]

From: badrikesh prusty <badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com>

Set DEBIAN_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT to "no" by default to disable the need for
root privileges during package builds on Debian releases before Trixie.

Since dpkg 1.22.13 (Debian Trixie and later), the default value is "no".
In earlier dpkg versions (Debian Bookworm and before), the default was
"binary-targets".

Debian recommends not using root during builds whenever possible. It may
make builds faster by skipping unnecessary root or fakeroot operations.
Recipes that require root privileges can override this by setting
DEBIAN_RULES_REQUIRES_ROOT accordingly.

This also fixes hangs observed during fakeroot calls in
dpkg-buildpackage. References:
