Bug#890113: sitesummary: Requires (fake)root to "install"

[Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net>]

Hi,

It appears that sitesummary requires (fake)root to "install":

"""
make	install DESTDIR=debian/tmp
[...]
install -o www-data -d debian/tmp/var/lib/sitesummary/entries
[...]
install -o www-data -d debian/tmp/var/lib/sitesummary/entries
install -o www-data -d debian/tmp/var/lib/sitesummary/tmpstorage
[...]
"""

All of these bits appears to come from the upstream part of the build.

This makes the package FTBFS if you build it with
"Rules-Requires-Root: no" as the install part is no longer run as root
(or fakeroot).

Please set "Rules-Requires-Root: binary-targets" to make this
requirement explicit.  By doing so, you will enable us to eventually
make "Rules-Requires-Root: no" the default.

Thanks,
~Niels

PS: I note that the debian package reset the ownership of these
files/directories to "root:root":

"""
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2018-01-07 16:52 ./var/lib/sitesummary/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2018-01-07 16:52 ./var/lib/sitesummary/entries/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2018-01-07 16:52 ./var/lib/sitesummary/tmpstorage/
drwxr-xr-x root/root         0 2018-01-07 16:52 ./var/lib/sitesummary/www/
"""

I have no idea whether this is intentional or not.
