Hmmm.  I didn't change how I built the package.  As the "deb" target
in the Mafefile shows, I use

  pdebuild --pbuilderroot ss

where "ss" is a fakeroot-like program.  Perhaps pdebuild/pbuilder has
a bug.  From the pdebuild man page:

       --buildsourceroot [fakeroot]
              The command used to gain root privilege for invoking dpkg-build-
              package

       --pbuilderroot [sudo]
              The command used to gain root privilege for invoking pbuilder.

I take this to mean fakeroot will get used by default.
