cool - I will indeed rework the upcoming dpkg-source class to use this. Thanks a bunch for the hint!

Instead of using "su" use "chroot --userspec". That should also be the
pattern for other chroot users that do not need root. i.e. kernel build
and upcoming "apt-get source" fetcher.
This way we can skip all the chowning we had/have to do otherwise.
