Problem: deb-pkg needs root privileges or fakeroot but git-diff-index
does not work correctly with fakeroot. Perhaps this variable should
have another name and be added to the other package targets too.

Why are distribution-specific things/objects/targets even included?

<gitster> So "fakeroot -u" (Use the real ownership of files previously
unknown to fakeroot instead of pretending they are owned by
root:root.) would be a good workaround.
<gitster> Eh, not a workaround but probably that is the right thing to do.
This solves the problem, just ignore the patch.
